TWO ships said to be involved in the ‘paihi’ scheme of P20-M unmarked fuel were impounded by the Bureau of Customs.
The two fuel tankers are now under the custody of the BOC after they were seized by the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Services-Manila International Container Port (CIIS-MICP) for alleged involvement in the illegal fuel transfer, or “paihi” modus at the Navotas Fish Port.
The said operation yielded P20,350,000 worth of unmarked fuel, or highly dutiable petroleum products without proper fuel markings.
The BOC said this indicates the non-payment of necessary taxes and duties.
