By destination
Colombia, Chile and the rest of Latin America
Outside Mexico the region stops behaving like one market. Colombia routes its prior authorisations through VUCE and its declarations through the DIAN; Chile, Peru and Ecuador each have their own single window and their own list of what needs a permit; Bolivia and Paraguay have no coastline at all and arrive through someone else's port. What travels well between them is the ocean routing — most of the west coast is served off the same Asia strings — so the country guides below focus on what changes at the border rather than on the sailing.
