Customs commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno ordered the streamlining of procedures for the discharge and clearance of imported shipments at all ports.

The directive is in response to the request of Philippine Rice Importers Association president Raffy Herrera last March to prioritize the discharge of imported rice tagged in the “red lane” of the Bureau of Customs PH selectivity system.

Ensuring Fair Prices for Every Grain 🌾

On behalf of PRIA, this memo serves as an official reminder to all importers that fair pricing of imported rice is a shared responsibility. We strongly urge importers to actively inform and ensure that retailers comply with proper pricing guidelines and do not overprice. This commitment begins with us, so rice remains affordable for Filipino consumers across all communities.
