This system already allows the electronic communication of the results of the SIF control to Customs, which allows the automatic transfer of the declarations to green filter, thus achieving the immediate release of the goods. However, this system still requires taxpayers to submit control requests to the SIF, and separately the customs declaration to the Tax Agency, repeating the information provided in the administration
