Ecuador Customs Agents Making Conficastions of Merchandise

Yesterday evening at the Guayaquil International Airport, customs agents were seen confiscating hundreds of pairs of shoes which were shipped in via air. It appeared that the items were brought in either without proper permissions or without declaring items. It has been a well known fact that the government has been making significant efforts at collecting duties and making a dent in the dealing of contraband. Ecuador is also know as a market with significant issues dealing with counterfeit items. Special Report
