Help With Puerto Rico Hacienda
Shipments arriving to Puerto Rico must be paid for and cleared by the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury / el Departamento de Hacienda de Puerto Rico (usually just referred to as “Hacienda”) before they can be delivered. If you’re new to doing business in Puerto Rico, we’ll show you how to get started. We’ll also help you prepare your paperwork to minimize any potential delays.
By and large, it’s a fairly straightforward process to establish an account with the online payment system, SURI (Sistema Unificado de Rentas Internas). Timely payments mean timely release of your goods. Every now and again, a shipper will encounter a challenge with Hacienda. We have access to a network of couriers and runners who can get corrected paperwork to the nearest office to expedite clearance.
