The Central Bank of Honduras, working with the Honduran Customs Authority, announced administrative simplifications for the export sector, including changes to how Export Declarations can be used across multiple customs filings and a streamlined process for cancelling an Export Declaration with the central bank. A single Export Declaration can now support several Central American Single Declarations (DUCA) as long as it has an available balance, with the authorised value applied partially as exports are executed. The Export Declaration will remain valid even if details such as the exit customs office, export route, destination country, customer or shipment date change, and exporters can request an adjustment if the authorised value is not fully used. For cancellations at the Central Bank of Honduras, exporters will no longer need to submit a Customs-issued Non-Use Certificate and must instead provide the OC-7 “Notice of Adjustment to the Declared Value of Exports Carried Out” form. The central bank also noted it has been visiting exporting companies in the south of the country during their peak season and will extend these actions progressively to other sectors.
