Nasabat ng Bureau of Customs (BOC) ang hinihinalang smuggled luxury cars na tinatayang nagkakahalagang P20 million noong Miyerkules.

Sa tulong ng Manila International Container Port (MICP) at Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS), nasabat ng BOC ang 3 sasakyang hinihinalang smuggled na idineklarang “used truck parts” mula sa Japan.

Sa isinagawang physical investigation, napag-alamang tinabunan ng mga ‘ukay-ukay’ na damit ang mga sasakyan na ang consignee ay ang JLFDM Consumer Goods Trading.

Saad pa ng BOC, “This information led to the issuance of an Alert Order against the shipment. A 100% physical inspection was conducted witnessed by members of the Enforcement and Security Service (ESS) and Formal Entry Division (FED) of the Port. The examination revealed 33 bales of ukay-ukay concealing therewith the 3 vehicles.”

Ang mga naturang sasakyan ay isang Ferrari F430 Scuderia, isang Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG at isang Mercedes Benz E220.

Pahayag ng BOC, “A Warrant of Seizure and Detention (WSD) is immediately issued against the shipment for possible violation of Section 1400 of Republic Act (RA) 10863, otherwise known as the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA).”

Nasabat ng Bureau of Customs (BOC) ang nagkakahalagang P3 million na ‘misdeclared’ o naipuslit na sibuyas galing China, batay sa kanilang Facebook post ngayong araw, May 29.

Anila, “Continuing efforts to curb smuggling, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) through the Manila International Container Port's (MICP) Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS) on May 26, 2021 apprehended a misdeclared shipment of red onions.”

Paliwanag ng BOC, yellow onions ang nakasulat na description sa shipment, subalit nadiskubreng 60% ng laman nito ay puro red onions na katumbas ng P3 million na halaga.

Dagdag ng BOC, “The shipment which originated from China and was consigned to a certain Potanion Trading and was subjected to 100% physical examination which were witnessed by members of CIIS Enforcement and Security Service's Customs Anti-illegal Drugs Taskforce (ESS-CAIDTF), Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and Chamber of Customs Brokers Inc. (CCBI).”

Sa ngayon ay posibleng humarap sa paglabag sa Section 1113 at Section 1401 ng Republic Act 10863 o Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) ang sangkot sa misdeclared shipments.
