The Single Window for Foreign Trade (VUCE) system utilised in Peru generated more than US$38 million in savings in 2021.
VUCE is an electronic platform that is designed to facilitate foreign trade paperwork and procedures while connecting different entities for the exchange of information, with exporters, importers and foreign trade operators all benefitting, according to the country’s National Foreign Trade Ministry.
The benefit of this application is that it standardises data exchange processes, which makes them more compatible. So for a port it can gain more detailed and real-time information on scheduled port calls, or delays and cancellations from the shipping sector.
In 2021, in the port sector in Peru, a total of 21,685 ship reception procedures and 22,510 ship dispatch procedures were recorded using VUCE.
VUCE 2.0 is currently under development.
