The Bureau of Customs (BOC) on Thursday said it has deployed additional X-ray machines to strengthen border control against smuggling.
The BOC said one unit of Nuctech mobile container X-ray scanner has been installed at the Port of Cebu, while another will be deployed to the Port of Cagayan de Oro.
“The high-performance scanning capability of the mobile container X-ray scanners allows faster scanning through its pass-through mode feature, assuring precise inspection of all containerized cargoes,” the Customs said in a statement. The agency said one Astrophysics fixed checked-in baggage scanner and two Astrophysics hand-carry baggage scanners will also be deployed to Boracay International Airport as it prepares to open international flights in December.
The BOC said it also continues to train its personnel to hone their intelligence and enforcement operations capabilities. It added that these initiatives are part of the President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.'s order to BOC Commissioner Yogi Filemon Ruiz to “enhance employee competence and strengthen security measures to stop smuggling and other customs fraud in the country.”
