Customs and Logistics Committee

Recognizing the importance of customs and trade facilitation, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) urges the relevant government agencies to fully implement the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) in pursuance to the WCO Revised Kyoto Convention; revisit the provisions of Customs Memorandum Order No. 27-2019 and expedite issuance of the Authority To Release Goods (ATRIG); and fully operationalize the National Single Window (NSW) and integrate it with the ASEAN Single Window (ASW).

As for concerns on shipping costs, the ECCP proposes the following: (1) the charges of the shipping lines must be transparently clarified and justified; (2) International Commerce Terminology (INCOTerms) must be observed and respected; and (3) the inclusion of the ECCP Committees on Customs, and Infrastructure and Transportation in the technical working group and other consultations for the aforementioned matter.
