Customs Commissioner JOHN P. SEVILLA said on his first day of office at BoC, “kahit piso lang ang mawala sa buwis is a form of cheating the government of its rightful duties and taxes.”
Totoo naman po ang tinuran n’ya.
Kaya naman karamihan sa mga kargamento was ordered to be placed for verification of its contents and the actual declared values to ensure that every importers are paying the right duties and taxes. Some shipment who where found with misdeclared and under value are recommended for seizure and charged of smuggling with the help of the BoC intelligence group under Depcomm. Jesse Dellosa.
But after several months of running after the SMUGGLERS, parang naging malamig na ‘ata ang laban at nawala ang init.
‘Yan ay dahil daw nagbalik ang “BENCHMARKING SCHEME” in the processing and releasing of shipments, nagbalik muli sa dating kalakaran and most of the assessment sections are now are enjoying the “ TARA POLICY” and back sa dating mga illness and diseases na uncontrollable in customs.
Kahit itanong pa raw sa POM section 8?
Commissioner of Customs ba ang nagbigay ng go signal to use the benchmarking scheme in the processing and releasing of import entries filed by importers? O ang Customs District collectors? Kung totoo ito, aba marahil may dayaan na naman sa actual value, weights and quantity of every shipment!?
Hindi ba dapat walang uniformity ang duties and taxes dahil iba-iba ang mga content and values of every shipment?
Anong nangyari?
CONSIGNEES FOR HIRE
Alam rin kaya ni Commissioner Sevilla that some importers are using a consignee that is for hire in the processing and releasing of their import goods in the bureau?
Sila ‘yung walang permanente na kliyente at paminsan-minsan lang kung dumating. What can AMO say regarding on this issue? Mayroon o wala at paano nakalusot?
Ano ba ang paraan o sistema upang malaman if the consignee used is for hire or not? The Customs Intelligence and enforcement group can solve this problem. Ito ay isang matagal na negosyo by a certain syndicate in customs for along time na until now ay lumulusot o pinalulusot. ‘Di po ba?
