Furthermore, the Minister of Finance introduced a draft executive decree. This decree is poised to establish clear conditions and modalities for the destruction of goods seized, confiscated, or abandoned by the customs administration. By defining the procedures for the disposal of such goods, this measure seeks to safeguard the interests of all parties involved and elevate transparency in the management of these items.
