Customs seizes, destroys 8.7 tons of unregistered, hazardous goods
The Bureau of Customs-NAIA condemned approximately 8.7 tons of unregistered and hazardous goods, including medicines, cosmetics, cigarettes, and electronics.
These items were seized because they lacked the necessary permits and clearances, rendering them unfit for public auction.
The condemned goods arrived through various warehouses.
The condemnation process utilized the thermal decomposer (pyrolysis) facility of Integrated Waste Management, Inc. (IWMI) to ensure the items do not re-enter the market.
Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero and District Collector Carmelita Talusan stated that BOC-NAIA will continue its vigilance against the influx of dangerous drugs, anti-social goods, and hazardous substances.
