UAE Filipinos, there's a new rule on 'balikbayan boxes'
Dubai - The new rules to be implemented next month?
It is not yet confirmed when these rules will become effective, but some sources said they could be implemented from August 1. Philippines-based news portals - like the Manila Bulletin - said that the new regulations will come into effect starting October 15 this year.
According to a Customs Memorandum Order retrieved from the Philippine Bureau of Customs website, the new policy will take effect "immediately".
The new rules stipulate the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to provide the Bureau with a list of items that the 'balikbayan box' contains.
A Tempo report adds that Faeldon said the 'balikbayan boxes' will be opened and put under scanner to confirm the contents listed by the OFWs. It also added that the new measure won't cause delays in sending and release of the package.
