Two more customs one-stop-shop facilities were recently opened at the ports of Clark and Zamboanga, bringing the Bureau of Customs’ (BOC) Customer Care Centers (CCCs) to a total of seven.
BOC-Zamboanga and BOC-Clark inaugurated their CCCs on September 10 and September 11, respectively.
CCCs serve as a central hub or one-stop shop for customs-related transactions such as document receiving and releasing, payment, document and shipment status tracking, and information provision.
Areas inside the hub include Pass Control, Information, Document, and cashier areas, among others.
BOC-Zamboanga district collector Segundo Sigmundfreud Barte, Jr. and BOC-Clark district collector Ruby Alameda in separate statements said the CCC will further streamline customs processes, improve customer service, minimize corruption opportunities, and allow collection of the right revenues.
The establishment of CCCs is also part of measures to enhance trade facilitation as well as to comply with Republic Act No. 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act.
