Members of the Argentine National Gendarmerie seized 323 contraband tires in an operation carried out in the town of Villa Olivari. The merchandise, valued at almost 18 million pesos, was transported in a vehicle belonging to a logistics transportation company and did not have legal documentation to support its entry into the country.
The procedure was carried out by order of the Federal Court of Corrientes, based on the interdiction of shipment transportation in the aforementioned town. Personnel from the Villa Olivari Section of Squadron 47 Ituzaingó proceeded to open 255 parcels that had irregularities, finding inside a total of 323 tires without customs approval.
Given the presumption of an illegal act, the gendarmes opened the packages in the presence of witnesses, confirming the absence of documentation that justifies the legal entry of the merchandise into the country.
Informed of the result of the operation, the Federal Court of Corrientes ordered the seizure of the tires, which were valued by AFIP-Customs personnel from the Posadas delegation at a total of 17,737,939.71 Argentine pesos.
