|---|---|---|---|---|
| FO.01-DVCSA-OPP-AGOSTO 2022 | Tarifas de las actividades realizadas por el Servicio Autónomo de Contraloria Sanitaria (SACS): nivel central – Vigilancia y Control Sanitario en Aduanas Selected medical-material and equipment rows 3–5, the complete table headings, common reference-value note, printed template code and re-inspection note are retained from the one-page customs fee guide. Independent food-only rows 1–2 are excluded from typed publication. Petro amounts are transcribed as printed reference values; neither current payable amounts nor a 2026 conversion basis is asserted. The August 2022 footer is a template identifier, not a proved commencement date. | Registration | — | Official |
| DGSACS-014/2026 | Circular: emisión de la boleta sanitaria The signed 18 September 2026 SACS circular sets documentary and physical verification steps for sanitary release slips. Medical-device relevance is limited to the release workflow evidenced by Providencia 008-2019 and the medical-device checklist. The source addresses exporters and customs agents while referring to entry or dispatch; that wording is preserved. Its 24-hour clause starts after receipt of a conforming application and is not described as an overall device import or registration approval deadline. Later amendments and formal commencement remain unverified. | General | — | Official |
| Providencia Administrativa N° 069-2019 | Providencia mediante la cual se establece el regimen sancionatorio aplicables a las actividades realizadas por el Servicio Autónomo de Contraloría Sanitaria (SACS) en las aduanas aéreas, marítimas y terrestres de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela SACS establishes a common sanitary customs sanction procedure for importers. The medical-device bridge is the release checklist that expressly names both this instrument and Providencia 008-2019, whose Article 2 explicitly covers medical materials and equipment. The 2% commercial-invoice provision is a conditional sanction, not a registration fee. Signature and publication-dependent commencement remain distinct; no wholesale repeal of 008-2019 or later-currentness conclusion is inferred. | General | — | Official |
| SACS sanitary release checklist | Recaudos para la Solicitud de Boleta Sanitaria Complete two-page SACS customs checklist and receipt fields explicitly include the medical materials/equipment directorate and cite Providencias 008-2019 and 069-2019. All fourteen requirement rows, twenty-eight empty verification boxes, blank fields and the continuation across pages are retained. Requirements remain conditional on cargo type and the source wording; this is neither a new product-registration form nor proof of the currently payable fee. The upload date is not treated as a legal issue date. | Registration | — | Official |
| Providencia Administrativa N° 008-2019 | Providencia mediante la cual se establece el mecanismo de trabajo a las actividades realizadas por el Servicio Autónomo de Contraloría Sanitaria (SACS) en las aduanas aéreas, marítimas y terrestres de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela Signed SACS customs procedure expressly includes medical materials and equipment in Article 2. It covers sanitary release slips, responsible customs officers, payment references and sanctions, rather than granting product registration. Article 9 names only Providencia 298-2018 for repeal. The signed 18 January 2019 date and publication-dependent commencement are retained without assigning an unproved publication or effective date. Later amendments and current fees remain unverified. | General | — | Official |
