BOC bars personnel from engaging, having ties with customs brokers
Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno has mandated all personnel to disclose any business or familial ties to the customs brokerage industry.
This directive, outlined in Memorandum No. 39-2025, aims to uphold integrity and transparency in government service, aligning with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directives.
The memorandum explicitly prohibits Customs personnel from engaging in commercial or business interests with entities involved in customs brokerage.
All BOC staff are required to submit a verified affidavit detailing the presence or absence of such connections within 10 days of the directive's posting or upon the occurrence of specific circumstances like marriage or changes in business ownership.
This initiative seeks to prevent potential conflicts of interest within the Bureau of Customs.
