The condemnation of unregistered cosmetics and food products is part of Bureau of Customs’ border protection initiatives to protect the public against unsafe and hazardous consumer products.
The goods were destroyed using the Thermal Decomposer (Pyrolysis) Facility of the Integrated Waste Management Inc. (IWMI) to ensure that these items will not be sold or made available in the market.
For the year 2020, the Port of NAIA has already condemned a total of 371.42 tons of unregistered and hazardous goods. This is also in compliance with Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo B. Guerrero’s directive to decongest all ports and warehouses.
