Commercial importation is always taxed.
If the quantity or nature of the goods suggests the use of goods for commercial purposes, they should be paid customs duties and other taxes. This also applies to any other goods imported for profit.
Importation is not considered commercial if the goods are imported by an individual in escorted luggage for personal or family purposes or as gifts
Mandatory declaration.
Goods whose importation is limited or subject to customs duties, excises, or other payments are subject to mandatory declaration in writing. Goods that are not intended for production or commercial purposes are declared by individuals in a simplified manner, without filling out the passenger customs declaration.

- The nature of the goods and their quantity
- Frequency of movement of goods
Declaration of goods.
The declaration must be completed by those individuals who have reached adulthood.
Goods belonging to persons who have not reached adulthood must be declared by their parents, foster parents, guardians, guardians or other individuals acting by proxy of these persons.
