This procedure may derive from the revision of the merchandise in customs clearance, the revision of the merchandise and its means of transportation in transit, or the domiciliary visits and cabinet revision in international trade, ways in which the custom authority may exercise their verification faculties and impose a fiscal credit to the importer, owner, possessor or marketer of the merchandise and even determine a preventive embargo of the merchandise.
