Revenue retains R$35 million in irregular items at the Port of Vitória

Around 400,000 irregular items valued at R$35 million have been retained by the Federal Revenue Service since the beginning of November from the Port of Vitória. The agency released this Wednesday (11) a partial balance of Operation Border in the capital of Espírito Santo.

According to the Revenue, loads containing electronics, toys and cosmetics were identified that presented several irregularities.

Among the main infractions found are the lack of certification from the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro) and the lack of approval from the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) for equipment subject to regulation;

Undeclared goods and products with signs of piracy were also frequently found.

The IRS explains that action at ports seeks to prevent the entry of products that do not comply with Brazilian legislation and combat practices that harm fair competition and tax collection.
