The National Integrated Service of Customs and Tax Administration (SENIAT) in Venezuela is a key agency in enforcing customs and trade laws. With a strong commitment to combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime, SENIAT has rolled out various measures to strengthen its position in global trade. These include establishing transparency initiatives, enhancing international cooperation, and launching public awareness campaigns to reduce the flow of counterfeit products into the country.

 

In addition to this, SENIAT has made strides in legal reforms and sustainable development. The introduction of the new Customs Law and a paperless clearance system reflect Venezuela’s efforts to reduce crime and environmental impact. SENIAT’s work includes using advanced technologies like blockchain to improve the customs clearance process and prevent smuggling. With a focus on capacity building, the agency provides training for its officers and collaborates with international partners like the World Customs Organization (WCO) to further enhance its operations. Through these measures, SENIAT continues to lead in tackling the challenges of counterfeit and transnational crime.
