Customs files complaint vs. sugar traders

The Bureau of Customs (BOC) filed a complaint against three sugar traders for allegedly violating customs laws.

According to a “24 Oras” report on Thursday, the BOC did not disclose their identities.

However, one of them is an importer and Customs broker who illegally imported 13 containers of refined sugar from the Manila International Container Port.

Meanwhile, another importer including its Customs broker also faces a complaint after allegedly allowing 58 containers of refined sugar into the Subic Port.

The BOC said the filed complaints were in addition to the 45 criminal complaints filed against instances of smuggling and customs fraud. — Richa Noriega/BM, GMA Integrated News
