MANILA: Customs commissioner Alberto Lina has granted special privileges to investors in this freeport, including exemption from profile registration and the conduct of x-ray of importations here instead of in Manila.
This, even as Lina assured Clark investors of a “rationalized policy on bring in and bring out permits via full automation of processing.”
The policy is to take effect by end of August although full automation would be done in 2016 yet.
Lina said doing x-ray inspections of incoming shipments of Clark investors would decongest the Manila port.
He also ordered the exemption of Clark locators from Bureau of Custom’s (BOC) Client Profile Registration System (CPRS).
Lina said Clark investors need not apply under BOC’s registration system. Instead, the Certificate of Registration or Tax Exemption would be issued only by the state-owned Clark Development Corp. (CDC).
