FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS

What is a Post Clearance Audit in the Philippines?

A Post Clearance Audit is a Bureau of Customs review conducted after the release of imported goods. It may verify the accuracy of declarations, tariff classification, customs valuation, duties and taxes, and compliance with customs laws and regulations.

Can Customs audit an import shipment after it has been released?

Yes. The Bureau of Customs states that imported goods may be subject to a Post Clearance Audit even after release.

What is an Audit Notification Letter (ANL)?

An Audit Notification Letter notifies an importer that it has been selected for a Post Clearance Audit and provides information concerning the audit process and applicable requirements.

What documents are needed for a PCA?

The specific records required depend on the audit and transactions being reviewed. They may include goods declarations, commercial invoices, packing lists, transport documents, permits, proof of payment, customs records, and other supporting documentation required under the applicable rules.

What if we discover an error in a previous importation?

Yes. Once your shipment is released, JLTCB can arrange nationwide delivery to your warehouse, office, facility, project site, or other destination in the Philippines.

What is the Prior Disclosure Program?

The Prior Disclosure Program is a compliance and revenue measure established under CAO 01-2019 that provides a mechanism for covered importers to voluntarily disclose certain errors in goods declarations and payments, subject to applicable rules and procedures.

Can PCA support be preventive?

Yes. Businesses can conduct an internal review of import records and processes before receiving an audit notice. A preventive assessment can help identify potential documentation, classification, valuation, or declaration issues that may require attention.

Does customs compliance end after the shipment is released?

No. The Bureau of Customs may conduct post clearance reviews after imported goods have been released. Importers are expected to maintain the records required under applicable customs rules.
