Ruffy Biazon filed House Bill 6390, which seeks to establish a classification system to assess the capability of third parties to import, export, move, store, or clear goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">The bill proposes that the classification for third parties will be according to their capitalization and volume of transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">Under the CMTA, a third party is any person dealing directly with the Bureau of Customs (BOC) for and on behalf of another person, relating to the importation, exportation, movement or storage of goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">Biazon said the congressional hearing on the smuggling of PHP6.4 billion shabu (crystal meth) brought to light that \u201cconsignees for hire\u201d, which can be considered as being used by unscrupulous persons and entities to smuggle goods and other illegal contraband into the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">&#8220;These &#8216;consignees for hire&#8217; more often than not, are small companies that are used as &#8216;dummy companies, by these unscrupulous persons and entities to hide their true identities and thus escape prosecution,&#8221; Biazon said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">Biazon, a former BOC commissioner, cited the need to address this problem in order to abate the smuggling of goods and ensure that proper duties and taxes of goods are collected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">His bill provides that third parties transacting with the BOC shall be held liable for acts committed in violation of this act and related laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">The bill also mandates the Finance Secretary to issue rules and regulations to govern and regulate the conduct of all third parties.
