    Study Notes

    Types of Customs Transit

    • Outright Exportation: Goods can transit from port of entry to another port of entry for outright exportation when Goods Declaration (GD) is electronically lodged, and Authority to Load (ATL) is issued.
    • Inland Customs Office Transit: Imported goods may transit to inland customs offices for manufacturing, processing, or warehousing with electronically lodged GD and required security. Transfers to Customs Facilities Warehouse (CFW) need an electronic Transfer Permit.
    • Free Zones to Port of Loading: Goods from free zones ready for export must be withdrawn with an Export Declaration to serve as the Transit Permit. ATL is also required for outright exportation.
    • Inter-Port or Inland Office Transit: Transits between ports or inland customs offices require GD for Transit and sufficient security posting.

    Obligations of Responsible Parties

    • Arrival Tagging: Upon goods' arrival, the responsible officer must tag the transit goods in the system.
    • Presentation of Goods: Carriers, brokers, and consignees must ensure intact presentation of goods at destination customs offices to meet transit obligations.
    • Monitoring System: An electronic transit cargo monitoring system (MISTG) must be established to track movement.

    E-TRACC / Electronic Customs Seal

    • Seal Requirements: Electronic seals are mandatory for cargo transfers to CFWs, transit to free zones, and export from these locations.
    • Cargo Monitoring: Export cargo from free zones requires electronic seals to facilitate tracking.

    Transit Permit

    • Transfer Permit Necessity: A Transfer Permit is essential for goods in customs transit, ensuring that customs seals are not tampered with during the transfer process.

    Carrier's Security

    • Transportation Security: Carriers must provide general transportation security of at least ₱50,000 to guarantee delivery of goods to customs and payment of customs-related charges.

    Processing Transfers

    • Cargo Transfer Protocol: Customs Brokers must lodge a permit and pay applicable fees before making trip bookings with E-TRACC for electronic sealing of cargo.

    Empty Containers

    • Loading Constraints: Vessels can load empty containers, but regulations on importing goods must be adhered to.

    Customs and Logistics Advocates

    • Contact Information: CLAP offers services related to customs and logistics; contact info provided for inquiries.

    Immediate Re-exportation

    • Evidence Requirement: Goods intended for immediate export must provide documentation proving re-export intentions. Such declarations enable direct transfer to an exporting vessel.
    • Compliance for Re-exportation: Goods arriving for transshipment must have the appropriate declarations and security posted.

    Transshipment Customs Procedure

    • Definition: Goods are managed under customs control during the transition from importing to exporting transport within a customs office.

    Prohibited Goods for Transshipment

    • Legislation and Compliance: Unauthorised hazardous materials or controlled goods cannot undergo transshipment as per international agreements.
    • Seizure and Forfeiture: Non-compliance with prohibitions results in goods being seized and subject to forfeiture or legal action.

    General Provisions on Duty Exemptions

    • Duty-Free Status: Transshipment goods are exempt from duties, provided proper declarations and documentation accompany them.

    Transshipment Goods Declaration

    • Electronic Submission: Transshipment declarations must be electronically submitted before loading onto the vessel or aircraft, ensuring compliance with customs regulations.

    Summary

    • Customs transit procedures require adherence to protocol regarding declarations, permits, security, and monitoring to ensure compliance with national and international trade regulations.
