As of last Friday, the latest update on the Bureau of Customs electronic-to-mobile Automated Export Declaration System and the Philippine Export Zone Authority Expanded AEDS Implementation is shown below:
How Many Automated Export System Are There?
This question is being raised by many export industry stakeholders and PortCalls readers.
Bureau of Customs Deputy Commissioner for MISTG Maria Caridad Manarang is always articulating in all stakeholder meetings and consultations that insofar as BOC is concerned there is only once export system — e2m AEDS. Her position is that the other AEDS systems are applicable only within the context of export documentation and clearance processing in areas or locations under the direct control, administration and supervision of the government agencies which implement such systems.
For its part, PEZA already announced during the recent meeting of the Export Development Council NCTPPS and its latest meeting with BOC that its Expanded AEDS System will ultimately integrate with e2m AEDS. As of last week, PEZA already notified its various accredited VASPs to be ready to implements enhancements in their respective front-end systems intended to integrate PEZA AEDS electronic SAD (single administrative document) with e2m AEDS.
