The challenge

Both operations shared a commercial goal, but each country required its own documentary, tax and customs review.

The company needed to understand the conditions in each market, coordinate customs and transport, organize deliveries and keep visibility over both destinations without mixing each country’s legal responsibilities.

What DLZ did

The DLZ team coordinated the commercial and logistics side in Guatemala and organized services in El Salvador with local providers, according to the scope of each operation.

The solution integrated customs management through a licensed customs broker, local services, transport and the other components of the import. For each transaction, the sales model, the importer of record and its tax obligations were defined consistently with the actual contracts and documents.

Key elements of the solution

  • Visibility over both markets from a single coordination point.
  • Independent documentary and tax review per country.
  • Local providers in El Salvador integrated into the plan.
  • Deliveries organized all the way to the final recipients.
