Customs seizes P95-M unregistered vapes
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) confiscated 112,750 unregistered vape products valued at approximately ₱95.7 million at the Port of Manila.
The first operation on March 18 involved two containers misdeclared as insulated cups, revealing 46,600 assorted flavored vape products worth around ₱23.3 million.
The supposed duties and taxes for this shipment amounted to ₱30.2 million.
The Port of Manila is set to issue a Warrant of Seizure and Detention for these shipments due to violations of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act and the Vaporized Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Products Regulation Act.
A second operation targeted three additional shipments suspected of containing unmanifested goods, with the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service-Port of Manila requesting a Pre-Lodgement Control Order for them.
