Due to the restrictions of the pandemic, this capacity to attend to citizens who cross the border has been reduced to 50%. There are many people who have relatives in both border cities (Arica and Tacna).

Customs Clearance

Its infrastructure is based on a linear service model duly differentiated according to the transport unit and the user, integrating the entities involved in its operation, optimizing the points of attention in search of the least displacement of users, avoiding congestion and using state-of-the-art technology for the development of control activities. The physical recognition sector has a booth to control the entry of trucks, a scale, an elevated platform for visual control of trucks, and offices for officials of the control agencies. The transport of cargo or goods enter the sector of the internment yard or are quickly dispatched to their destination under the customs transit modality.
