Know the Rules for Your Move in Honduras
A Permiso de Explotación and Certificado de Operación from the Honduran Institute of Land Transport are required for companies operating commercial cargo vehicles.
Before you rely on this
Honduras licenses commercial goods transport through the Instituto Hondureño de Transporte Terrestre (IHTT), under the Ley de Transporte Terrestre de Honduras. Operating cargo vehicles requires both a Permiso de Explotación (Exploitation Permit) and a Certificado de Operación (Operation Certificate), issued together, covering “carga general” (general cargo), the category relevant to household goods moving, as distinct from “carga especializada” (specialized cargo, for hazardous or specially-handled goods like petroleum products and chemicals). Where a mover subcontracts the transport, the carrier performing it holds these documents. Always confirm current requirements directly before hiring a mover.
