Manual Process (SOFIA Plus Portal)

What you do now

  • Log into the SOFIA Plus portal (with a security token)
  • Copy invoice/packing list data manually
  • Look up tariff codes one by one
  • Validate RUC manually in a separate system
  • If there is an error: Go back, correct, resubmit
  • Check each declaration individually for status
Problems: Typing errors, rejected declarations, time wasted waiting on SOFIA Plus

Yes. P4 is designed specifically for MERCOSUR trade.

MERCOSUR features:

  • NCM: Complete and up-to-date MERCOSUR Common Nomenclature
  • AEC: Common External Tariff applied automatically
