The Philippine Association of Meat Processors Inc. appealed to the Department of Transportation to revoke an order issued by the Philippine Ports Authority requiring importers to register containers.
“Said AO which was issued during the previous administration and whose contract was awarded in a midnight deal, imposes an additional unjustifiable financial burden on our industry already battered by spiraling cost of raw materials, freight, and a broken supply chain,” the two Pampi officials said. “The use of containers is paid to shipping lines by importers as part of freight costs. Therefore, requiring importers to pay PPA for watching/monitoring containers which do not belong to them, is unwarranted and abusive.”
“AO 04-2021 issuance by PPA is untenable as regulating movement of imports is not within its charter but which properly belongs to [the Bureau of Customs].”
