Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 19) — The Bureau of Customs (BOC) seized ₱30 million worth of smuggled luxury cars in Misamis Oriental last December 15.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the BOC said a shipment from South Korea arrived at the Mindanao Container Terminal in Tagoloan, which declared 1,045 truck replacement parts.
But upon receiving \”derogatory information,\” the bureau’s Intelligence Group requested Port of Cagayan de Oro authorities to inspect the said shipment.
Authorities discovered that the shipment actually contained two Porsche cars.
The cars were seized in violation of the Republic Act No. 10863 or the \”Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.\”
The BOC in July also seized more than 80 luxury cars that were allegedly smuggled, with an estimated amount of ₱500 million in a Pasig City showroom.
