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:

So the above mean the above-referenced firm has had a rate lower than 1% customs investigations (good!)
Would "indictment" do? Or is there a standard way of calling these actions? American English would be better, please.
