The Philippine Ports Authority on Sunday said it is crafting new policies to streamline procedures to prevent importers from using ports for storage.“We are coordinating with the Bureau of Customs to ensure that importers do not delay filing their importation entries. We are gradually reviewing our processes within the PPA and the BOC,” PPA General Manager Jay Santiago said in a statement.
He said the PPA, in a letter dated October 1, 2024, provided Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel the list of consignees on an inventory of pork, chicken, and onion shipments that remain unclaimed at the ports even after BOC has cleared the shipments as well as those which have exceeded the 30-day dwell time.Santiago said the PPA has no jurisdiction over the consignees as its mandate is strictly focused on port management.
