Provided for in Article 64 of the Customs Code, the customs house visit is strictly supervised and can only take place, except in cases of flagrante delicto, upon a reasoned order from the Judge of Liberties and Detention (JLD) of the regional customs directorate where the service in charge of the procedure is located.
This order may be appealed to the Court of Appeals, particularly if the order does not mention the elements of fact and law retained by the JLD and which give rise to a presumption of the existence of the fraudulent acts for which proof is sought.
What happens when the order is based on improperly collected documents?
