Government agencies led by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) have launched a system which digitalizes data collection processes for travelers and crew members arriving in and departing from the Philippines.<\/p>\n
The E-Travel Customs System, which is an integration of the Electronic Customs Baggage Declaration Form (e-CBDF) and Electronic Currencies Declaration Form (e-CDF) into the eTravel System of the Bureau of Immigration (BI), will bolster national security and streamline customs procedures.<\/p>\n
In a news release Wednesday, the BOC said the system which was launched at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 in Para\u00f1aque City on Monday is a joint effort with the BI, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).<\/p>\n
Customs Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio expressed confidence in the system\u2019s potential to revolutionize customs processes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis collaborative initiative demonstrates our commitment to innovation and efficiency in customs management. The E-Travel Customs System will play a pivotal role in ensuring the security of our borders and fostering a seamless travel experience for all. We are dedicated to advancing our customs practices, aligning with global standards, and safeguarding the interests of our nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The E-Travel Customs System, a unified digital data collection platform, simplifies the passenger experience at airport terminals.<\/p>\n
Its key feature is the Electronic Customs Baggage and Currency Declaration interface, formerly part of the BOC\u2019s I-Declare System, introduced on June 29, 2022.<\/p>\n
Rubio said travelers and crew members can now utilize a user-friendly and single web portal which integrates the border control requirements of the BI, Bureau of Quarantine, BOC and the BSP.<\/p>\n
He said the system will also enhance the overall passenger experience and enables the BOC to receive advance information for effective risk profiling.<\/p>\n
Rubio said the timely sharing of information with AMLC and BSP strengthens the nation\u2019s commitment to combat money laundering and ensure financial security.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe E-Travel Customs System is a testament to the government\u2019s dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions for border control, aligning with international standards, and advancing towards a more secure and efficient customs environment\u201d he added.
