Key Documentation & Regulatory Compliance

Every Palo Santo export is backed by official forestry and plant-health documentation, aligned with international requirements and your local customs rules:

  • SERFOR Export Permit: Confirms that Palo Santo originates from legal and sustainable sources under Peru's National Forestry and Wildlife Service (SERFOR).
  • Phytosanitary Certificate (SENASA): Certifies that the shipment complies with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures and is free of regulated pests.
  • HS Code Classification: We help your broker select appropriate tariff codes often used for Palo Santo products (e.g. within heading 1211 or 3307, depending on format and use). Your local customs broker will always confirm the final HS code in your market.
  • Trade Agreements & Duties: Many destinations benefit from trade agreements with Peru, which can reduce or eliminate duties on plant products when rules of origin are met.

Our role is to provide complete and consistent documentation; your customs broker is responsible for the final import declaration according to local law.

Export Logistics & Customs Brokerage Support

We design each shipment to balance speed, cost and customs risk. Typical steps include:

  • Pre-shipment inspections: Checks of moisture, aroma, resin content and weight before loading, especially for full container and pallet shipments.
  • Pre-filing of documents: Sharing commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates and HS information with your customs broker before arrival to minimize delays.
  • Multi-modal transport: Options such as air express, regular air freight and ocean freight, depending on volume, urgency and budget.
  • Tracking & issue management: Coordination with carriers and brokers in case of inspections or additional information requests.

Incoterms & Service Options

We adapt to different levels of importer experience, from first-time buyers to established distributors with their own logistics teams:

  • EXW & FOB: For clients who prefer to control freight and insurance. We deliver at our warehouse or port of departure with full documentation and palletized goods.
  • CIF & CFR: We arrange international transport up to your port or airport, including freight and, in the case of CIF, cargo insurance.
  • Door-to-door options: In selected markets, we can explore door-to-door or DDP-style arrangements, subject to a feasibility review with your broker.
  • Transit time references: Air express from around 3–5 business days, regular air freight from 7–10 business days and ocean routes from approximately 15–35 days, depending on destination and season.

Frequently Asked Questions about Export & Customs

1. What permits are required to import Palo Santo from Peru?

Typically you will need a SERFOR export permit, a phytosanitary certificate from SENASA and the correct HS classification in your import declaration. Some countries also require prior import permits or registration with plant-health authorities.

2. Do you provide support with HS code selection?

We share examples of codes commonly used for Palo Santo sticks, chips, powder and essential oil, but the final decision is always made by your local customs broker in line with national regulations.

3. How long does customs clearance usually take?

In many cases, clearance can be completed within 5–10 business days after arrival, provided that documentation is complete and there are no special inspections. Peak seasons, random checks or missing paperwork can extend this timeframe.

4. Can you work with my own customs broker and freight forwarder?

Yes. We frequently collaborate with our clients' preferred brokers and forwarders, sharing all required certificates, invoices and product details to align export and import documentation.

5. What happens if my shipment is held or inspected by customs?

If your cargo is held, our team supports your broker with photographs, batch data, certificates and additional clarifications. When a documented issue is linked to our side, we review the case under our quality and claims policy to define the most appropriate corrective action.
