Direct Integration with the DEI's SARAH

We are not a form that copies data. We are a certified API connection to the Honduras Customs system.

With aduanasHQ + SARAH

How it actually works

  • Step 1: Enter data once in aduanasHQ
  • Step 2: P4 validates the RTN and SARAH rules (before submitting)
  • Step 3: Click "Submit" → Automatic transmission via API
  • Step 4: SARAH responds in 5-15 seconds (accepted/rejected)
  • Step 5: P4 shows the status in real time
Result: 10 minutes on average per DUA vs. 50 minutes manually

Manual Process (SARAH Portal)

What you do now

  • Log in to the SARAH portal (with a security token)
  • Copy invoice/packing list data manually
  • Validate the RTN manually in SAR
  • Look up tariff codes one by one
  • Wait for validation (it can take minutes if SARAH is slow)
  • If there is an error: go back, correct it, resubmit
Problems: Typing errors, invalid RTNs, rejected declarations, time lost waiting on SARAH

Frequently Asked Questions - Honduras

A real API connection. We are not a web form that copies and pastes. aduanasHQ has direct API integration with the DEI's SARAH servers.

How it works:

  1. You enter data in aduanasHQ just once
  2. P4 validates the RTN automatically against the SAR database
  3. P4 validates against SARAH rules before submitting (prevents rejections)
  4. Click "Submit" → P4 transmits a digitally signed XML to SARAH
  5. SARAH responds in 5-15 seconds with acceptance or rejection
  6. P4 shows the result immediately

Benefit: No copying/pasting, no logging in to the SARAH portal, no typing errors or invalid RTNs.

Automatic, real-time validation. P4 verifies every RTN before submitting to SARAH.

Validation process:

  • Enter the importer's/exporter's RTN
  • P4 queries the SAR database automatically
  • Verifies that the RTN exists and is active
  • Validates the correct format (14 digits)
  • Alerts you if there are problems before submitting

Previously, with the manual process:

  • ❌ Enter the RTN manually in SARAH
  • ❌ Wait for a rejection if the RTN is invalid
  • ❌ Lose 20-30 minutes making corrections

Result: 90% fewer errors related to invalid or inactive RTNs.

Yes. We have specific workflows for the free trade zone regime.

P4 handles:

  • Temporary admission: Recording of inputs/raw materials under duty suspension
  • Inventory control: Tracking of inputs vs. finished goods
  • Exports: Complete documentation of departures from the free trade zone
  • DR-CAFTA: Automatic certificates of origin for export to the USA
  • DEI reports: Monthly raw material consumption and production

Typical use cases:

  • Textile maquiladoras in Choloma (ZOLI)
  • Electronics plants in San Pedro Sula (ZIP)
  • Automotive assemblers in industrial zones

Benefit: Complete control of raw materials, automatic compliance with the DEI.

Integration built specifically for Puerto Cortés. The largest port in Central America requires fast, efficient processing.

P4 makes it easier to:

  • Cargo manifests: Manage maritime manifests
  • Port declarations: Process multiple declarations simultaneously
  • Container tracking: Track from arrival to release
  • Terminal coordination: Integration with port operators
  • Reduced dwell time: Faster processing = fewer days in port

Impact on dwell costs:

  • Before: 50 minutes/declaration = 2-3 day delays
  • With P4: 10 minutes/declaration = same-day release
  • Savings: USD $150-300 in port dwell charges per container

Typical users: Customs brokers with high port volume, importers with frequent operations.

It depends on your operation. We don't have a one-size-fits-all price because every customer is different.

  • Number of users (DEI agents, office staff, warehouse)
  • Monthly declaration volume
  • Honduras only or multiple countries
  • Integrations needed (ERP, WMS, etc.)

What we do NOT charge for:

  • ❌ Per-declaration commission (unlimited processing)
