Please revise and/or re-write your information to be correct. Your link is incorrect, there is no Costa Roca, maybe you meant Costa Rica, but then the supposed agency of Department of Commerce and Taxation wouldn't operate in a foreign country.  There is a Department of Commerce, but Taxation is the IRS. The IRS has its own enforcement officers within the country.

Where did you get your information?
