Thirty-eight companies, which are allowed to import tax-free petroleum to the DR, will be investigated by a commission headed by the Customs Department. The decision to launch an investigation was made yesterday during a meeting between the ministries of Hacienda and Industry of Commerce, as well as Customs and the Tax departments.
