The Fiscal and Customs Police (Spanish: Policia Fiscal y Aduanera, POLFA) is a unit of the Colombian National Police under the command of its Operative Directorate. This unit is in charge of investigating large finance frauds and usually supports the National Taxes and Customs Directorate (Direccion de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales, DIAN).
The POLFA was created by Law 633, article 53 in the year 2000 to work under the orders and structure of the DIAN to support fiscal processes and control, as well as operations involving tax evasion, money exchange piracy and contraband in Colombia. It also provides vigilance and security at ports where international importing and exporting take place in Colombia, as well as warehouses where illegally introduced products are sometimes stored.
