<h1>Customs Circular Implements 2018 Sea Cargo Regulations, Extends Compliance Deadline, and Introduces Automated Processes for Stakeholders.</h1> The circular from the Office of the Commissioner of Customs outlines the implementation of the Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations (SCMTR), 2018, which aim to enhance transparency and predictability in cargo movement, superseding older regulations. The notice details the phased mandatory filing of declarations and manifests, extended due to COVID-19 disruptions, with full compliance required by April 1, 2021. It introduces procedural relaxations, such as reduced bond requirements, and exempts certain operators from furnishing fresh guarantees. The circular also emphasizes the automated registration process for stakeholders and provides guidelines for filing arrival and departure manifests, transhipment procedures, and the use of Cargo Identification Numbers (CIN) to streamline processes.
