[ BOC CUSTOMS MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 10-2011, February 08, 2011 ]

CONDUCT OF PHYSICAL AND X-RAY EXAMINATION



In order to protect the integrity of the revenue collection process and thereby enhance the Bureau’s collection efforts, all shipments selected RED shall forthwith be physically examined by the assigned Customs Examiner, unless the same shall have been computer-tagged for x-ray inspection.  The substitution of x-ray inspection in lieu of physical examination shall no longer be allowed. The practice of table examination by Assessment personnel and of manual tagging by X-Ray personnel are strictly prohibited.

The Chief, Risk Management Office and Head, X-Ray Inspection Project are hereby ordered to coordinate with MISTG to ensure that at least fifty (50) high-risk shipments per x-ray machine deployed in the port are tagged daily in the X-Ray Selectivity Screen without precluding random selection of containers from the GREEN and YELLOW lanes.

CMOs 6-2007 and 13-2007 are hereby modified accordingly.

This Order shall take effect immediately.

Adopted: 8 February 2011
