RA 10863

The Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) is a key legislation in the Philippines aimed at enhancing customs efficiency, preventing smuggling, and ensuring compliance with import regulations. It plays a central role in various enforcement operations by the Bureau of Customs, including the seizure of illegal drugs, smuggled goods, and undeclared cash. Recent actions under the CMTA highlight its importance in strengthening border security and supporting national economic and public health interests.
