The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has recently implemented CAO 01-2024, showcasing significant reduction in fees for customs bonded warehouses (CBW), with a specific focus on supporting Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) while also streamlining regulatory processes.
This move comes in response to widespread appeals from stakeholders within the industry and seeks to bring uniformity to the diverse fee structures previously in place. One of the key revisions introduced by this order is the reduction in supervision fees, particularly benefiting MSMEs operating as members of CBW.
