The import documentation for Uruguay has been reviewed and adapted accordingly. The following changes have been made: Electronic Single Window As of 6 December 2013, Uruguay makes use of a new electronic single window for foreign trade (Ventanilla Única de Comercio Exterior - VUCE), which is intended to facilitate foreign trade operations. The single window will be implemented gradually and allows, at the moment, for the electronic processing of the importation of fish products.

Further details of the application procedure may be found in the document entitled Registration with VUCE, which has been newly incorporated into this import report. Moreover, the sections on Customs Procedures and Regulations and Registration have been updated accordingly. Plants and Plant Products In the context of modernising its administration processes, the General Directorate for Agricultural Services (DGSA - Dirección General de Servicios Agrícolas) under the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fishery initiated the implementation of an electronic system for certain procedures, e.g. the application for an Import Certificate for Plant Products. As the certificate, from now on, may only be applied for via the electronic system, this document has been modified accordingly. In order to obtain access to the system, a prior registration is required. Please refer to said document for further details.
