Flour millers warn of possible smuggling

With the anti-dumping duty now in place, local flour millers on Thursday warned the Bureau of Customs to be on the lookout for smuggled flour.

Ricardo Pinca, executive director of the Philippine Association of Flour Millers (PAFMIL), said that“whenever a commodity comes with a high import duty, unscrupulous traders usually resort to technical smuggling to escape paying the mandated dues,” Pinca said.
