Adopt Customs reforms, next PH leaders urged

A FORMER commissioner of the Bureau of Customs (BoC) has called on the next economic leaders of the country for the adoption of two reforms that had proved effective in combating corruption at the allegedly graft-ridden agency.

Former Customs Commissioner Titus Villaueva on Thursday said his proposal include, among others, delivery of shipments from the pier direct to the consignees’ warehouses as far as green-lane-accredited big and legitimate importers are concerned and the revival of the pre-shipment inspection (PSI) scheme for the rest who are new and unaccredited importers.
