Looking to buy or sell heavy equipment?
With JumboBee, you can trade online with financing options and worldwide shipping.
Venezuela sanctions apply to shipments from any country — USA, Europe, Latin America. We handle compliance regardless of where your equipment is located.
U.S. General Licenses GL 46, 47, and 48 authorize broader supply of oilfield, energy, and industrial equipment to Venezuela. These licenses affect not only U.S.-origin shipments — European and other international shippers must also comply with OFAC secondary sanctions requirements. Atlantic Project Cargo performs compliance review on every shipment before booking.
General Licenses GL 46, 47, and 48 authorize supply of equipment for oil sector operations, maintenance, and repair in Venezuela. Construction and agricultural equipment can also be shipped under standard export procedures — from any origin country.
Shipments to Venezuela require OFAC screening and proper documentation regardless of origin country. From the USA: EEI filing via AES. From Europe: export declaration + OFAC secondary sanctions check. We handle all of this as part of our standard service.
Certain dual-use technology and military-grade equipment remain restricted regardless of license. We identify these upfront — before you commit to a purchase — saving time and avoiding costly mistakes.
High demand, familiar brands, and a recovering private sector — the market context behind every shipment.
Decades of underinvestment have created massive demand for both new and remanufactured machinery across all sectors — from oilfields to construction sites to farms.
CAT, Komatsu, John Deere, Volvo CE — Venezuelan operators know these brands and have trained technicians. Familiarity and parts availability drive purchasing decisions toward U.S.-sourced equipment.
Following the 2026 U.S. license authorizations, oilfield service companies are reactivating procurement. The Maracaibo Basin and Anzoátegui corridor are seeing the highest equipment demand.
Organized by industry — because Venezuelan buyers search by sector, not by transport method.
Venezuela's agricultural sector is in recovery mode, with private investment growing and import volumes up 15% recently.
Key crops — maize, rice, sugarcane, coffee, cocoa — drive demand for tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems. Venezuela's heavy clay soils require high-traction equipment.
Equipment types:
Tractors (high-traction)
Compact, utility, and high-horsepower tractors for farming and industrial use.
Combine Harvesters
Irrigation Systems
Sprayers
Seeders & Planters
Sugarcane Harvesters
Coffee Pickers
Popular brands:
With roughly 60% of Venezuela's construction fleet outdated or non-operational, there is strong demand for remanufactured and used equipment — especially established brands already present in the market. Puerto Cabello handles the majority of construction equipment imports.
Equipment types:
Excavators
Bulldozers
Wheel Loaders
Backhoe Loaders
Dump Trucks
Motor Graders
Road Rollers
Asphalt Pavers
Cranes
Forklifts
Drilling Machines
Concrete Mixers
Popular brands:
Venezuela's largest equipment import category. Following U.S. General License authorizations in January 2026, oilfield service companies are actively reactivating equipment procurement. The Maracaibo Basin and Anzoátegui oil corridor are the primary destinations.
Equipment types:
Generators

Drilling Rigs
Pump Units
Transformers

No two shipments to Venezuela cost the same. Here are the key factors that affect your rate — and why Venezuela has some unique cost drivers compared to other Latin American destinations.
Routing to Maracaibo adds distance and transit time vs Puerto Cabello. If your final destination is the western oil region, the premium is worth it — otherwise, Puerto Cabello is the most cost-effective entry.
RoRo is cheapest for wheeled machinery. Flat rack is required for excavators and oversized equipment. Breakbulk is used for oilfield modules and project cargo — higher cost but necessary for certain cargo types.
Unlike most destinations, Venezuela requires OFAC screening, EEI filing, and HS code verification for every shipment. These are included in our service — no surprise invoices after booking.
Sailings to Venezuela are less frequent than to Brazil or Argentina. Booking lead time matters — last-minute shipments may incur higher rates or longer waiting periods for the next available vessel.
Road infrastructure varies significantly by region. Western routes to Maracaibo and eastern routes to Guanta are more complex and costly than central delivery to Carabobo or Aragua.
Agricultural equipment requires USDA-compliant cleaning and INSAI biosecurity certificate. Oilfield equipment may require specific packing or crating. These are coordinated by our team before departure.
