Carmen Schultz Aug 5, 2007:
A custom investigation doesn't necessarily have to happen when the law is broken-- it can also be done any time there is suspicion of non-compliance.
So the above mean the above-referenced firm has had a rate lower than 1% customs investigations (good!)
Adriana Penco (asker) Aug 5, 2007:
I think this refers more to compliance with customs procedures than to breaking customs laws.
Would "indictment" do? Or is there a standard way of calling these actions? American English would be better, please.

customs investigations

allthough sumarios can also mean contents list/page/sheet, etc., it can also mean investigation and other meanings- in this context it does not mean the obvious and I think it refers to investigations:
