The electronic container control program (PCC) works in a centralized and technological way, in order to elaborate the profile of High Risk Containers, obtaining access to an electronic search system, in addition to enabling users to track containers with specific destinations , provide detailed information on the type of cargo, route and payment methods.
For Ângelo Silva, head of the Tariffs and Customs Trade Department at AGT, the implementation of this program aligns our country in the international fight against drug trafficking, wild animals, counterfeit and pirated products, as well as other offenses within the scope of international trade. .
