Abstract

To increase Peru's economic competitiveness, it is essential to streamline and secure international commercial operations, eliminating obstacles in ports, airports and terminals, and facilitating access to key information for foreign trade users. This research proposes to determine to what extent the logistics infrastructure impacts the development of foreign trade at the Iñapari-Madre de Dios customs border checkpoint. To this end, non-experimental descriptive research at a correlational level was undertaken, where the processes related to foreign trade operations were analyzed through a survey of 34 jobs at the border control post. The results reveal a positive and significant impact of the quality of infrastructure, logistics operability and administrative processes with foreign trade according to the Pearson correlation of 0.840, 0.864 and 0.946 respectively. It concludes by affirming the importance of investing in infrastructure, trained personnel and adequate technology to guarantee more efficient foreign trade and reduce the commission of customs crimes.
