New regulations on cross-border logistics

Due to mandatory inspections by Bolivian customs authorities on imported goods through Santa Cruz Port (SRZ), DHL non documentary shipments will experience customs clearance delays.

50% of all incoming goods are subject to physical "red channel" inspection. Due to the increase in the quantity of goods and the scarcity of BO customs personnel, it is expected that SRZ GTW's orders will have a delay of+30 days, with+700 non document goods in SRZ GTW's backlog of orders.

DHL is currently transferring informal non document shipments to alternative LPB GTW to avoid further exacerbating the backlog in SRZ. Orders shipped through LPB will have a delivery time of+1 day in SRZ.

To avoid customs clearance delays in Bolivia, it is important to emphasize:

1. Only accept original commercial invoices;

2. Prohibit formal invoices and require detailed explanations for each item, including: brand and model of the goods; Whether the product is new or has been used before; International trade terms, including freight and insurance costs.

3. Goods with multiple items require a packing list from the country of origin;
