Kornet Express clarifies BoC report

A forwarding company, Kornet Express Inc. (Kornet), has called the attention of the Bureau of Customs (BoC) for erroneously reporting that it was the consignee of a shipment of used clothing worth P5 million which was earlier seized by intelligence operatives of the Port of Cagayan de Oro (CDO).

The shipment was among the estimated P215 million worth of smuggled goods seized by CDO customs operatives on separate occasions. They were presented to Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña when he visited the port last month.
