The Bureau of Customs (BOC) is set to launch its online portal for the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program and its electronic advance ruling system this month.

BOC Management Information System and Technology Group (MISTG) deputy commissioner Allan Geronimo told PortCalls in a text message the projects are part of the bureau’s efforts to implement new information and communications technology systems that will further modernize core Customs processes.

Stakeholders can use the AEO portal to apply online for the AEO Program, and the electronic advance ruling system to apply for advanced ruling on origin and on valuation.
