After a series of seizures made in the past several days involving several shipments containing misdeclared items, the MICP Field Office has once again seized another yet two units of machineries of magnetic separator and magnetic assembly last August 13 after a shipment of 1x40’ Container Van No. WSDU 4912716, declared to contain household wares, consigned to Rosvie Enterprises, was x-rayed by XIP Inspector Ryan Veloso and found to contain suspicious and misdeclared items on the X-ray monitor.
Based on the report of MICP Field Officer and concurrent Luzon Area Supervisor Renato D. Palgan to XIP Head Atty. Ma. Lourdes V. Mangaoang, the said shipment arrived at the MICP on August 7, 2011 from China on board sea vessel M/V Sinotrans Shenzhen, with Registry No. SIT0029, and, after the filing of import entry and was classified as Red X-ray in the Selectivity System, it was subjected to X-ray Inspection by the MICP Field Office to verify the true contents of the shipment. And when XIP Inspector Veloso made an image analysis on the innermost portion of the container van, he found out some irregularities depicting machineries which were not declared on the import documents, and the shipment has become even more suspicious when it was found on the X-ray monitor that the declared items were used as concealment near the door of the container van so that spot-checking by the customs examiner cannot identify the misdeclared items inside.
As a resullt of the X-ray findings, an alert order was issued by the Office of the Commissioner and a 100 percent physical examination was conducted against the shipment that confirmed the X-ray findings.
