Overview

The Santa Rosa Border Complex is a customs and immigration control building, located in the department or region of Tacna, in the southern part of Peru, close to the Concordia Line that separates Peru with the Republic of Chile. It is similar to the border customs complex on the Chilean side called Chacalluta.

It is located on the South Pan-American Highway (Route - 1S) almost 250 meters from the international border; this complex is an obligatory part of entry or exit from Peru to the Republic of Chile. It has a total area of ​​more than 168,000 square meters. The administration of the Border Complex is under the administration of the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration.

The new facilities were rebuilt in 2007. It has the services of Customs, Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Ministry of the Interior, Bank of the Nation, National Police as well as other dependencies of the Peruvian State. In October 2008, a module or health post was inaugurated.  

Daily Capacity

Most of the traffic of people and cars that go to Chile and that come from Chile occur on weekends. Almost 25,000 people were received or attended on Saturdays and Sundays. Due to the restrictions of the pandemic, this capacity to attend to citizens who cross the border has been reduced to 50%. There are many people who have relatives in both border cities (Arica and Tacna).

Customs Clearance

Its infrastructure is based on a linear service model duly differentiated according to the transport unit and the user, integrating the entities involved in its operation, optimizing the points of attention in search of the least displacement of users, avoiding congestion and using state-of-the-art technology for the development of control activities.
