If you send any electronic or high-end item via any Courier and then its empty box in another shipment, it may be subject to General Standard No. 01-2018, which regulates the fractioning of goods through Courier companies, and our company EPS is not responsible for its seizure by customs authorities. This standard, in Article 1, subsection D, indicates the following:
“It is presumed that there is a fractioning of shipments when identical, similar, substitute, or complementary goods are introduced, as a result of shipments from the same or different consignors, for the same consignee or a related person (partners, dependents of the same employer) using one or more master waybills of the same Courier or different Couriers, or using a set of procedures within a period of thirty (30) days or less, or when the importation is part of a series of imports made or planned with the purpose of covering up their commercial purpose and unduly benefiting from category “B,” which establishes the Regulation for the Express Clearance of Shipments.
