Gestión del riesgo en la cadena de suministro de la agencia de aduanas Sucomex Nivel II en pro de su calificación como OEA, estudio de caso

Abstract

Customs legislation in Colombia has undergone a series of changes over the last five years. One of them was issued in 2016 when the National Government presented a new regulation, which adopted the recommendations of simplification and trade facilitation made by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Some of the main changes adopted correspond to the concept of the declarant in foreign trade operations, making the figure of the Customs Agency no longer mandatory, allowing the holder of the goods to act directly before the customs authority.

Thus, the Sucomex level II Customs Agency, with operations in the most important ports of the country identifies the need to obtain its certification as Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) accomplishing the requirements established in Resolution 4089 of 2018, including this process in the organizational culture of the Agency, regarding of Risk Management in the Supply Chain, to shield its operation as one of the key axes of its customers.

This study addresses, through a mixed analysis, the identification of the Sucomex Level II supply chain and its risks, to present an implementation proposal through a risk matrix
