THE POST ENTRY AUDIT GROUP IN THE BUREAU OF CUSTOMS
WHEREAS,
Republic Act No. 9135, entitled “An Act Amending Certain Provisions of
Presidential Decree No. 1464, Otherwise known as the Tariff and Customs
Code of the Philippines, As Amended, and for other Purposes,”
specifically Section s 3515 and other related sections mandated the
Bureau of Customs to conduct audit examination, inspection,
verification and/or investigation of transaction records of importers
and brokers;
WHEREAS, with the imminent introduction of a paperless environment
under a fully automated processing of import transactions and the
implementation of the WTO Valuation System which requires the minimum
of controls at the point of importation, the Bureau of Customs must be
able to shift emphasis from documentary checks at the border to
information analysis with the use of information technology on a post
importation basis;
WHEREAS, the system of post entry audit is an accepted international
best practice aimed at increasing trade facilitation, encouraging
voluntary disclosures, reducing incidence of fraud and protecting
government revenues;
WHEREAS, Sec. 2 par. 2(f) of Presidential Decree No. 1772, amending
PD 1416, expressly grants the President the continuing authority to
reorganize the National Government, including the power to group and
consolidate bureaus and agencies, abolish offices, transfer functions,
create and classify functions, services and activities and standardize
salaries and materials.
