RECENT INDUSTRY ISSUES

Customs Memorandum Order No. 06-2018 – Submission of Advance Manifest and other

documents to the Bureau’s Advance Manifest System.

The regulation prescribes carriers, shipper, consignee, accredited cargo surveying companies,

NVOCC, freight forwarder, cargo consolidator or their authorized agents for advance

submission of manifest within the prescribed period. Among the information required from the

freight forwarders, NVOCC and cargo consolidators are the value of the goods, freight charges

and insurance. Likewise, commercial invoices and packing list of shipments are required to be

submitted in advance.

In as much as NVOCC, Freight Forwarders, Cargo Consolidators are not parties to the

purchase of goods, there is a great challenge in obtaining the information required by the new

regulation. More so, with the existence of Republic Act No. 10173, where due diligence must

be exercised to great extent the collection, recording, storage, maintenance, processing, and

sharing of data and information obtained from data subjects.

PMTLAI has submitted its position paper to the Bureau of Customs on why the implementation

of the law be differed until such time that the Bureau is able to come up with a mechanism for a

pragmatic implementation.

The closure of one of the major Cargo Terminal Operator – MIASCOR that caused serious

congestion at the Cargo Terminals and other consequential problems

Delays in withdrawal and delivery of import and export cargoes, terminal congestion, road

traffic, inefficiencies at the cargo terminals just to name the few of the challenges faced by the

Aircargo Industry as a result of the surge of cargo handled due to the closure of MIASCOR.

PMTLAI sought for a dialogue with the Local Government Unit of Paranaque, other cargo

Terminal Operators and Bureau of Customs to find solutions to the problems. Possible

solutions to ease the congestion such as establishing a truck holding area at the terminal,

streamlining processes for delivery of export cargoes and pick-up of import cargoes, enhancing

and upgrading of terminal operator‟s equipment were among the subject of the continuous

dialogues.

Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Act (TRAIN Law)

PMTLAI in collaboration with one of the country‟s renowned Accounting and Consultancy Firm

– SGV, the Department of Finance and the Bureau of Internal Revenue conducted a briefing on

March 16, 2018 the effects of the law especially on taxation for corporate and personal income

taxes of employees including the possible effects on investment into the country. To ensure

compliance of its members even before the implementation of the law.
