Descrição
Resumo:Since colonial times, threading has been notorious in the population of Ecuadorian highlands. This skill has been developed to the point of industrialization and in the last two decades it has grown in the clothing sector, also reaching important levels of production based on the inclusion of new technology, modern designs and external markets. However, high production costs, competition from foreign products that don’t always comply with customs regulations, among other factors, have limited the development of an industry that creates job opportunities and wealth. Customs fraud in the Ecuadorian textile industry is the subject of this document, starting from a statistical analysis from the recent years, plus the contribution based on the experience from the authors who have worked several years in the Ecuadorian Customs service, allowing a more objective vision on the subject.
