Philippines Bulk and Break Bulk Cargo Programme

Assessment is carried out to determine the correct dutiable weight, quantity, description of goods in tariff code terms, and/or cargo make or quality. 

Upon satisfactory findings a Load Port Survey Report will be issued to the Bureau of Customs. This report will allow the importer to take advantage of Advanced Clearance Procedures. 

Shipments requiring Pre-Shipment Survey

Shipments arriving without the report will be subjected to a comprehensive cargo survey at the Port of Discharge and the importer may incur a penalty.
