MICP X-ray detects another Motorcycle

           In another show of their expertise in conducting X-ray inspection of containerized cargo that is truly imbued in their works and profession, the MICP X-ray Field Office has recently detected another unit of undeclared motorcycle hidden inside several balikbayan boxes as a result of its intensified anti-smuggling campaign in compliance with the directive of XIP Head Atty. Ma. Lourdes V. Mangaoang. This is the second time that an apprehension was made involving motorcycle after all informal shipments were required to undergo 100 percent X-ray scanning.

           

            According to XIP Head Atty. Ma. Lourdes V. Mangaoang, the smuggled used motorcycle of Honda Super Sports 250cc, with Chassis No. MC-15-1015406, was part and parcel of a forty-footer shipment with Container Van. No. EISU 9136106, declared as personal effects and household goods, consigned to DXL International, which arrived at the MICP on June 25, 2011, from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. After the filing of import entry by the customs broker, the said shipment was subjected to X-ray inspection on July 8 by X-ray Inspector Vincent Anthony G. Guzman. However, during X-ray image analysis of the said shipment it showed that there was undeclared item that looks like motorcycle which was maliciously hidden on the farthest portion of the container van that eventually led to the conduct of physical examination to ascertain the findings of X-ray image, and it was discovered during the spot-checking conducted by the assigned customs examiners of the Informal Entry Division that the suspected item was indeed a fully-assembled motorcycle. As a result, Warrant of Seizure and Detention was issued against the shipment by the MICP District Collector of Customs.

            Atty. Mangaoang added that the latest apprehension of motorcycle inside a consolidation shipment showed once again the effectiveness and efficiency in the conduct of X-ray inspection of containerized cargo using the state-of-the-art X-ray machine, as it was already proven in the XIP past apprehensions.

            The XIP Head likewise commended the officers and men of the MICP Field Office headed by Field Officer Renato D. Palgan for a job well done.

Field Inspection of Customs X-ray Facilities

         To ensure that X-ray scanning inspection of containerized cargoes are carried out in accordance with the Customs rules and regulations and in compliance with the Customs Radiation Safety Manual as well as to ensure that the directives of the XIP Head are fully implemented, MICP Field Officer and concurrent Luzon Area Supervisor Renato D. Palgan has conducted an ocular inspection last week on the container X-ray facilities at the Port of Subic in Zambales and the Port of Clark in Pampanga.

            The inspection was also made to check the on-going construction of X-ray facility at the said ports to ensure that radiation safety requirements and specifications are met.

            “ Considering that more than half of the total 30 container X-ray scanning machines of the Bureau of Customs are deployed at the major ports of entry in Luzon Area it is an imperative that these state-of-the-art equipment are fully utilized by our operatives with utmost efficiency and effectiveness in our anti-smuggling campaign”, Palgan said.

            The Port of Manila and the Manila International Container Port (MICP) have a combined 13 container X-ray machines while the Port of Subic and Port of Clark have 2 machines each respectively.
