The client requested our support because his sole distributor in Peru had contacted him due to the initiation of a customs and criminal investigation. The controversy faced by his distributor involved significant risks not only in terms of fines but also in terms of criminal liability caused by the importation of goods. As requested, we evaluated the Customs Administration’s questioning of the client’s distributor. Likewise, we contacted the distributor to obtain more information on the observed operation. Accordingly, we presented to the client our conclusions on the facts and consequences of the situation under analysis. Likewise, we obtained information that allowed the client to improve its position before the customs criminal investigation.
