Customs: All balikbayan box items to be taxed

[dirk14]

---

MANILA - Customs chief Alberto Lina defended Monday the agency's plan to open balikbayan boxes, saying the bureau is mandated to prevent the entry of contraband items as well as assess the value of items that need to be taxed.

Lina said that under the law, the bureau can inspect all balikbayan boxes entering the country.

He said the Bureau of Customs is hiring people to inspect up to two percent of 800,000 balikbayan boxes, or about 16,000 boxes, entering the country. He said the US Customs bureau also inspects about 2 percent of all incoming packages.

"We are hiring people to add on to the Bureau of Customs now," he said in an interview with ANC's Headstart.

The Customs chief noted that only returning overseas Filipino workers are given tax exemptions for items with value of up to P10,000, based on a presidential decree issued by then President Fidel Ramos.

Every item sent via balikbayan box is taxable, he added.
