Nearly all the 888 container vans containing imported rice worth P500 million currently stored at the Manila ports have already been cleared by the Bureau of Customs but its importers are deliberately delaying their release.
“The situation is not related to port congestion but stems from pending actions required by consignees for the release of these shipments,” the BOC said in a statement. Similarly, at the Manila International Container Port , 630 containers of rice remain in the yard. Of these, 492 containers have been cleared for release, while 138 containers are still pending payment of duties and taxes.
According to the law, importers must claim their shipments within 30 days from payment of duties and taxes, or the shipments will be declared abandoned. The BOC will proceed with abandonment proceedings if any shipments remain unclaimed after this period.
