- The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has issued procedures for implementing VAT exemption on imports for export-oriented enterprises (EOEs).
- EOEs must secure a certification from the Department of Trade and Industry-Export Marketing Bureau (DTI-EMB) to avail of the VAT zero-rating or exemption.
- The DTI-EMB certification is required for EOEs with at least 70% export sales of total annual production, as mandated by the CREATE MORE Act.
- BOC will verify the authenticity of the DTI-EMB certification and ensure imported goods align with the EOE’s export activities.
- A new procedural code (061) has been added to the BOC system for qualified VAT-exempt importations.
