Baggage control Customs: what are the risk indicators?
The system in question was developed based on information available in advance about passengers who arrive in the country by air. In this sense, the body that directs William Michel identified a series of risk indicators that guide the analysis.
Among these, the main ones to highlight are the number of packages that make up the baggage, the difference between the luggage at the time of leaving the country and at the time of entry, the amount of trips made and its relationship with passenger economic activity and the background of offenses committed.
In addition, this system is powered by the information received by the Customs of the high-end consumption of Argentine tourists who come from Europe.

The travelers arrived in the country on Air Canada flight AC 096, from the city of Montreal, and were carrying about 15 packages.
