The Regional Directorate of Customs of Iquique made a donation of 400 skates to four non-profit institutions who work for the development of children and adolescents, the National Customs Service of Chile reported today (07.06.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX).

El Regional Director of the Iquique Customs, Cristian Molina Silva, explained that the mission of his Service is to supervise and facilitate foreign trade. “We are concerned that everyone pays the respective taxes and respects international treaties and Chilean laws, to which we add the fight against smuggling and illegal goods. In these tasks, our inspectors intercepted these skates that were declared as lights,” said the director, who added that after a legal process they remained in the possession of the treasury through an alternative route and can now be donated.
