Article 10, paragraph 4.3  
 
Members shall notify the Committee of the details of operation of the single window.  
 
The single window for foreign trade (VUCE) is a tool for the facilitation of  foreign trade and is 
managed by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism ( MINCETUR ). It was created in 2006 by 
means of Supreme Decree No. 165-2006-MEF, and was made law through  the first supplementary 
provision of Legislative Decree No. 1036.  
 
The VUCE is defined as a comprehensive system that enables parties involved in foreign trade and 
international transport to electronically manage the procedures required by the competent 
authorities in accordance with the reg ulations in force, or requested by the parties in question, for 
goods  transit ing through  or entering or exiting n ational territory.  
 
The tool  became operational in 2010 and currently has three components : (a) Restricted goods 
(2010), (b) Orig in (2013) and (c) Port s (2015). Since entering into operation, it has had a positive 
impact on the foreign trade sector.  
 
The following procedures are carried out as part of the three components of the VUCE:  
 
• Restricted goods component: Procedures to obtain the permits,  certificates, licences and 
other authorizations required for the importation, exportation and transit of goods.   
• Origi n component : Procedures related to the issuance of certificate s of preferential origin.  
• Ports component : Administrative procedures linked  to the arrival, stay and clearance of 
ships in maritime, river and lake ports in the Republic of Peru; administrative procedures to 
obtain, modify or renew operating licences, permits, authorizations and other certificates for 
the operation of enterprises  providing port services ; and procedures related to  compliance G/TFA/N/PER/3

  with the information requirements for transporters or their representatives , port 
administrators and enterprises prov iding port services . 
 
Currently,  MINCETUR is im plementing a public investment p roject (with a budget of 
USD 61.9 million, comprising  USD 20 million in loans  from the Inter -American Development Bank 
and USD 41.9 mill ion in national counterpart funds ), which will enable VUCE 2.0 to provide more 
services in the lo gistical ch ain, and will improve the processes and procedures carried out by 
supervisory bodies, and ensure comprehensive, simplified and predictable processes for foreign 
trade operators. This project is to be implemented over a period of five years and aims to incr ease 
competitiveness in the foreign trade sector.

Article 10, paragraph 6.2  
 
Each Member shall notify the Committee and publish its measures on the use of customs 
brokers.  
 
In accordance with the Peruvian legislation on customs brokers:  
 
• Customs brokers are persons authorized by the customs authority to carry out customs 
clearance procedures . Owners, consignees or consigners of goods, official brokers (those 
represe nting a public body) and customs agents can be customs brokers . 
 
• Owners and consignees can manage the customs clearance of their goods directly, that is, 
they do not require a customs agent or authorization as an official broker: (1)  for the 
importation of goods with a f.o.b. value not exceeding USD 2,000; (2) for the exportation of 
goods with a f.o.b. value not exceeding USD 5,000; and (3) when they provide  security  and 
meet the other requirements established in the Regulations to the Cus toms Law . 
 
• Furthermore, as from 2020, authorized economic operators will be able to carry out customs 
clearance procedures without the need to use the services of a customs broker.  
 
It should be noted that the use of customs brokers, under domestic law, is  regulated by the following 
legislation:  
 
• General Customs Law adopted through Legislative Decree No. 1053; 
• Regulations to the General Customs Law adopted through Supreme Decree No. 010-2009-EF; 
• List of penalties applicable to offences provided for in the G eneral Customs Law, adopted 
through Supreme Decree No. 031-2009-EF; 
• Regulations governing the certification of authorized economic operators, adopted through 
Supreme Decree No. 184-2016-EF; and  
• General procedure for the authorization of foreign trade opera tors, adopted through 
Resolution No. 10-2016-SUNAT/5F0000
