Philippine Bureau of Customs extends E-Tracc System to domestic vessel transfers of international containerized goods.

The Philippine Bureau of Customs (BoC) expanded its Electronic Tracking of Containerized Cargo (E-Tracc) System to cover the domestic vessel transfer of international containerized goods, integrating the procedure for transit of shipments via barge or other domestic vessels with regular inland transfers. This move is part of Customs Memorandum Order (CMO) 09-2024 which implements Customs Administrative Order (CAO) 15-2019. The E-Tracc system allows real-time tracking of container locations using tracking devices linked with an electronic documentation system.
