Importers and Exporters must know this NEW trade Law!

If you are importing and exporting goods to and from the Philippines or the customs broker for your client, it is your business to know the rules set by the Bureau of Customs (BOC). The implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) have recently been released by the Bureau of Customs through various Customs Administrative Orders (CAOs) and Customs Memorandum Orders (CMOs) to clearly spell out the many changes that will impact on your trade transactions.
Managing customs compliance is essential for all importers and exporters. With the clamor of the different players and stakeholders to address this important issue, the Center for Global Best Practices is launching a one-day training entitled, New Customs and Import Rules of the Philippines to be held on June 7, 2019 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines.

Attendees of this training will learn compliance best practices and everything they need to know on the changes in the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines that will impact on their trade transactions so they may hurdle the challenges and avoid higher penalties in the form of administrative fines, surcharges and interests for misdeclaration, undervaluation and misclassification of imported goods, failure to pay correct duties and taxes among many others.

This will also include recent Department of Finance issuances as well as relevant foreign and local jurisprudence on matters involving imported goods. Managing your customs compliance obligations responsibly and proactively can make a critical difference in the success of your business.

This program will feature, Atty. Mark Anthony P. Tamayo, CPA who is a Partner at MTF Counsel (Mata-Perez, Tamayo & Francisco) specializing in, among others, Global Trade and Customs planning, Cross Border Tax planning, International & Domestic (national & local) Tax planning, advisory & controversy, Corporate Organization, Reorganization and Restructuring, Mergers & Acquisitions, Contracts and Investment Incentives.
