Trainings
The Single Window for Foreign Trade oversees the coordination of trainings aimed towards exporting and importing enterprises and customs agencies, in order to give basic instructions to people interested in the following the early processes for foreign trade.
The article No. 2, Reform of the Regulations Single Window for Foreign Trade System (Decree N° 43479), precisely states that one of the objectives of VUCE is to disseminate the information about the procedures and requirements done in the system. Additionally, the VUCE trains the staff members of the participating institutions on the VUCE system before any new implementation of this tool, so that they can carry out the corresponding controls for the entry or exit of affected products.
On the other hand, through the interinstitutional coordination, the VUCE works as a forum in which the participating government institutions of the VUCE system teach trainings for improving the exchange of information with users of the platform, so that it can optimize the time on commercial operations.
