Regulations for the Inspection of Luggage. Green
and red channel system.
Upon arrival in the country, and after picking up
their luggage, the passengers must go to the customs inspection zone near the
exit.
There the option will be offered to the passenger
to follow one of two inspection channels: the green if
he is not carrying items subject to the payment of duties, or the red when the items being carried are subject to the payment of taxes.
In order to determine which passengers will be
inspected, each one presses in turn a button that will light up a red or a green
light according to the case. The green light allows the passenger to continue
freely. The red light indicates that the luggage should be inspected upon
leaving the channel.
The staff assigned to the customs control in each
channel can order the inspection of suspicious passengers or luggage.
In the case that a passenger is stopped in the
green channel, and is carrying goods that are subject to the payment of duties
and have not been declared, the corresponding act will be prepared, and the
goods confiscated.
