Updates and corrections

Every guide shows the date it was last checked. This page is the log behind those dates: what changed, what we got wrong and fixed, and what we recheck on a schedule. If something looks outdated, send us a correction.

1. November 9, 2026 · Update

   December 2025 tariff reform: it is Decree 5,198 (Official Gazette 6,952 Ext., in force since Jan 5, 2026). A law-firm summary says it modifies 1,371 subheadings and moves regime 9 to a COMEX permit (Reported). The tariff search does not include its rates yet, and the guides say so. See the page →

2. November 9, 2026 · Change

   Every page now carries the certainty legend —Official, Reported, Unconfirmed— with this site's own definition, and guides that need a different phrase declare it separately.

3. November 8, 2026 · Correction

   After an independent review: the home page no longer presents the search as “SENIAT · official”; cars are covered up to 5 years under article 13 of Decree 5,103; and prohibited items now cite the official articles 25 to 35. See the page →

4. November 8, 2026 · Launch

   Site launch: 10 guides in Spanish and 5 in English, the Tariff search (11,883 codes, Decree 4,944 with reform 5,103 applied), the landed-cost calculator and the volumetric-weight tool.

What we recheck every month

These are the facts that change fastest and that readers act on. A guide's date moves only after we reread the source.

• The Decree 5,198 reform and its per-line duties, until we can add them to the search
• Temporary exemptions by decree (the current one runs to Dec 31, 2026)
• The legal regimes (COMEX, sanitary permits) and which products require them
• The exchange rate applied to customs payment (today “Unconfirmed”)
