Central America experiences delays due to DUCA problems
As a result of the implementation of the Declaración Unica Centro Americana (DUCA) on May 7, 2019, by the Central American Economic Integration Secretary (SIECA) and the Council of Ministers of Economy of Central America (COMIECO), computer problems have been experienced and are impacting the regional trade due to significant loss of time and resources within the supply chain.
Reported problems include congestion and delays at the borders and ports throughout Central America, affecting our ability to meet your requirements for on-time positioning and equipment dispatch.
Despite these challenges, Crowley is committed to providing quality service and will continue to monitor the situation to take all necessary measures to minimize the impact on your cargo operations.
If you have any questions, please contact your sales representative or the Customer Service Department at (504) 2564-7100.
