What is the new percentage for the late declaration penalty calculation?

During the first week or the first 6 working days, a penalty equivalent to 5% of the CIF value will be applied, and starting from the second week, an additional 3% will be added on the CIF value. It is important to note that if the declaration is not made before the 30th day, the cargo will be considered abandoned. There is a function in SIGA that allows requesting extensions for the declaration of cargo.

However, it is important to note that these requests must be made within the first 3 days of the cargo’s arrival. The DGA will determine whether to grant an extension of 2 or 3 days.
