Finance Secretary Ralph Recto on Tuesday lauded the issuance of Administrative Order No. 23, saying this would significantly enhance the monitoring of imported commodities entering the Philippines through electronic means.
“This initiative is another significant step towards achieving a fully digitalized border protection system in the country where no import goes by unnoticed and unaccounted for. This will certainly go a long way in putting an end to smuggling, misdeclaration, and undervaluation. I thank the President for his support in ensuring that the Bureau of Customs is well-equipped with the necessary technology and support needed to protect our people from illegal and hazardous imports,” he said.
It is intended to strengthen national security, safeguard consumer rights, and protect people against substandard and hazardous imported goods. The AO has created the Committee for Pre-border Technical Verification and Cross-border Electronic Invoicing chaired by the Secretary of Finance.
