THE Bureau of Customs (BOC) last week set up a one-stop-shop facility at the ATI Inland Clearance Depot (ICD) in Calamba, Laguna.

The establishment of the facility is expected to result in expedited import and export clearance processing of containers and cargoes at the ICD.ATI said there is no need for importers and exporters in the CALABARZON area to go to Manila to carry out transactions with Customs.

As instituted in Customs Memorandum Order No. 11-97(CMO 11-97), the ICD is an extension of the port of Manila and as such is treated, operated like a container terminal and/or container freight station inside a Customs Zone. The one-stop-shop accepts transactions with the bureau from 8am to 5pm, from Monday to Friday.
