To offer customs services for sea cargo and/or permits through the VUCE system, it is essential to link the company or institution with its customs agent at the DGA. Each importer (client) must complete the virtual process via the SIGA website; they must have a token that allows them to access the SIGA website and choose the customs agent, in this case, EPS, to carry out the customs clearance of their goods requiring permits.
If EPS is your customs agent, you must follow these steps to make the link:

EPS clients who import/export goods regulated by government entities (INDOTEL, Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Agriculture, and INDOCAL, etc.) must complete the linking process with EPS. This ensures that when goods requiring permits are received, there is no loss of time in the customs clearance process for imports of such regulated goods.
Here are some of the goods requiring permits from the Single Window for Foreign Trade (VUCE):
INDOTEL: Regulates all telecommunications items such as: cell phones, routers, smartwatches, communication radios, switches, signal repeaters, etc.
PUBLIC HEALTH: Grants permits for products intended for human consumption, as well as medical, dermatological products, and fragrances.
INDOCAL: Controls all measurement items, such as scales, thermometers, valves, gasoline pumps, sensors, etc.
AGRICULTURE: Imports of plant-based items such as: live and/or dead plants, seeds, wood, tubers, bulbs, among others.
