Government authorities in El Salvador seized 405 sacks of fertilizer that were being transported hidden in a van from Guatemala, with their final destination being Nicaragua.
The panamanian vehicle was inspected at the El Amatillo facilities by personnel from the Dirección General de Aduanas del Ministerio de Hacienda and Policía Nacional Civil. After obtaining a suspicious verdict from a scanner, a physical inspection was conducted, identifying undeclared merchandise hidden under a shipment of PVC pipes.
After the discovery of the NORDIC brand fertilizers (originating in Guatemala) weighing 18,370.8 kilograms, a panamanian individual was arrested who was also transporting a considerable sum of cash.
This is the result of modernizations and technological innovations carried out by Customs, using high-power scanners that allow for the detection of illicit goods to guarantee national and regional security. Thus, the government of President Nayib Bukele, through the Anti-Contraband Plan and inter-institutional work, remains steadfast in the fight against merchandise smuggling at various border crossings, as well as at unauthorized points where products are being smuggled into the country illegally.
