Customs post-tax audit on Pampanga factory yields fake insecticides

OPERATIVES of the Bureau of Customs-Enforcement Group (BoC-EG) accidentally discovered a clandestine factory manufacturing fake and toxic insecticides in Pampanga during a post-audit inspection to determine if duties and taxes have been paid for its imported machines and raw materials.

Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero disclosed on Wednesday that a team, headed by Deputy Commissioner Teddy Raval, were out to implement a letter of authority to inspect a warehouse on Block 12 Lots IA and 1B at the Global Aseana Business Park in San Simon town when they found out that the warehouse was converted into a factory for aerosol insecticides.
