The procedures for importing cylinders for the storage of natural gas were incorporated into the Single Window for Foreign Trade (VUCE), reported the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur).
Through RM 301-2023-MINCETUR, the “Proof of compliance with the Technical Regulation on High Pressure Cylinders for Storage of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) used as fuel for Motor Vehicles and Cylinder Holding Devices” is incorporated.
Mincetur highlighted that incorporating this process into the VUCE will allow its “digitization, centralization and linkage to foreign trade procedures” carried out by the various public sector entities, such as Sunat and Customs.
The measure will also allow us to have a database of the cylinders that enter the country, for efficient control and dispatch of this merchandise.
This diligence is managed by more than 300 companies established in the country. The procedure is carried out by the Ministry of Production (Produce) through the Restricted Goods component of the VUCE.
The Restricted Goods component of the VUCE, with this new procedure, adds a total of 322 administrative procedures and services in 16 competent entities for the benefit of the foreign trade community.
Mincetur: What is the VUCE?
The VUCE is a Mincetur foreign trade facilitation tool that allows parties involved in foreign trade and international transportation to electronically manage, in a centralized manner, information and documentation related to procedures and services; as well as the exchange of information required or relevant for foreign trade operations.
In particular, it manages 24 Produce procedures, services and queries in the Restricted Goods component. These have been processed by more than 1,801 administrators (between natural and legal persons) in recent years. These procedures involved the generation of 33,804 applications and a collection of close to half a million soles.
