DAVAO CITY—The Bureau of Customs Port of Davao has started talks on further expanding and modernizing the Sasa wharf to maximize efforts on trade facilitation and revenue collection, the agency said on Tuesday.
The BOC said the modernization plan came in the wake of progress of the port’s performance in making the region a major player in international trade, and in the growth of its collection targets since 2016. For the month of November, the Davao port had also exceeded its monthly revenue target by 1.42 percent with a total revenue collection of P3.47 billion against its P3.41 billion target.
The meeting discussed plans for a training on intercepting contraband and drugs for the customs officers of the four countries. A virtual launch of an international network to counter drug trafficking and illicit goods trading was being worked out.
