Heavy rain and winds of up to 257 km per hour caused flooding, overflowing rivers and widespread damage in Central American countries still recovering from Eta. Iota is the largest Atlantic hurricane of 2020 and the second hurricane in history to reach Category 5 status in November.
In light of the natural disaster, Honduran authorities reported on Thursday morning (19.11.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX) that passage through some customs offices is blocked due to damage and landslides on the roads.
Blocked access
- Customs The Poy, bordering with El Salvador
- Customs Hot water, bordering with Guatemala
- Integrated Customs the flowery in Copán, bordering Guatemala

IOTA's passage through Central America worsens the situation, making it impossible for carriers to meet fiscal deadlines and routes. Faced with this emergency, "The change or deviation of the tax route will not be subject to sanctions or fines", Honduran Customs clarified in the statement.
Customs authorities evaluate urgent actions to respond to the consequences of natural disasters in Central America.
