How was underbilling discovered?
The Customs found that the sales prices to the intermediary based in USA are significantly lower than those declared in the entry of the merchandise to Chili. The differences detected are, on average, of 78%which indicates a re-invoicing margin by the third operator that does not conform to normal business practices.
