Maritime, River, Lake, Air & LandCabotage Across Venezuela
Legal and operational coordination to move domestic or nationalized cargo via maritime, river, lake, air, or land routes between Venezuelan ports without crossing borders.
HOW IT WORKS STEP BY STEP?
- 01
Domestic or Nationalized Status Verification
We verify domestic invoices or the prior Single Customs Declaration (DUA) for the goods to be moved.
- 02
Cabotage Permit at Departure Port
We obtain customs and maritime clearance prior to loading onto the vessel, barge, ferry, or aircraft.
- 03
Loading & Controlled Domestic Transit
We supervise stowing and sealing for the transfer between both domestic points.
- 04
Seal Inspection & Destination Release
The receiving customs office verifies cargo integrity and authorizes immediate duty-free release.
Included benefits & scope
- Full multimodal coverage: maritime, river (Orinoco), lake (Lake Maracaibo), air, and land
- Guarantees zero double taxation on domestically produced or previously nationalized goods
- Permit management before SENIAT, Port Captaincies (INEA), and port terminal operators
- On-site supervision of loading, stevedoring, sealing, and discharge at both Venezuelan ports
When you need to move machinery, supplies, or already nationalized goods between a mainland port and an island (such as Margarita) or across Venezuela's maritime, river, and lake ports, doing so without proper Cabotage clearance exposes your cargo to customs holds or double taxation. We manage your maritime, river, lake, air, and land Cabotage operations from start to finish—securing SENIAT and maritime authority permits, supervising stevedoring, and releasing your cargo at the receiving domestic port.
