Thank you for your interest in our ACONISA Information Blog. In this new post we will address “Transshipment”.
Welcome! Transshipment. Defined as the transfer of goods from one mode of transport to another, is configured as a fundamental operation within the complex logistics system of international trade.
Its objective is to overcome difficulties that may arise during transport, allowing for fluidity and efficiency in the logistics chain.
In Nicaragua, transshipment is regulated by Technical Circular 009 of 2006, issued by the General Directorate of the Customs Service (DGA). These regulations establish the guidelines and requirements for carrying out this operation, both at the border and at the Public Customs Warehouse or on an authorized legal route.
In the case of transshipment at the border or in a Public Customs Warehouse:
- Authorization from the Customs Administrator is required.
- The request must be submitted by the international carrier, the consignee or their legal representative.
- The maximum time to carry out the transfer is 24 business hours.
If the transhipment takes place on an authorized legal route:
- Written authorization from the nearest Customs Administrator is required.
- A delegate from the customs authority must be present.
- The reason for the transshipment must be recorded in the Declaration of Goods for International Overland Customs Transit (DTI).
The change of spindle during transshipment:
- It does not require prior authorization.
- Only the customs authority should be notified.
- The DTI is upgraded at no additional cost.
In short, transshipment is an essential mechanism for the proper management of customs transit, adapting to the eventualities that may arise along the way.
