The Bureau of Customs (BOC) said on Tuesday it plans to revive the Philippines Customs Laboratory (PCL) in a bid to deter smuggling, particularly of imported chemical products, into the country.
"The re-establishment of the Philippines Customs Laboratory is an opportunity to further enhance border security efforts, increase revenue collection, and foster international cooperation in customs practices," Customs Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio said in a statement.
"This partnership with KOICA will contribute significantly to our vision of a modernized and credible Customs administration," Rubio said. During the program, Rubio cited the role of PCL in the proper and accurate chemical analysis of products. He added that the PCL will serve as an effective deterrent against technical smuggling through the use of scientific and technical expertise, advanced technology, and intelligence-driven strategies.
