BoC destroys expired sugar
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) Port of Subic has destroyed 20 twenty-footer equivalent units (TEUs) of expired sugar to ensure public safety and consumer protection.
This action was taken in compliance with the directives of Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno for transparency and followed guidelines outlined in CMO 24-2021 and CMO 28-2022.
The disposal was conducted upon the recommendation of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA).
The BOC Port of Subic has a history of confiscating perishable items, including a previous seizure of 14 TEUs of misdeclared sugar from Vietnam.
These shipments are typically seized for violating customs regulations, potential misdeclaration, and improper import documentation.
