Philippines - RP Heads ASEAN Customs Committee


MANILA, Philippines — Representatives from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have chosen Bureau of Customs deputy commissioner Caridad Manarang as the new ASEAN Single Window (ASW) steering committee chairman to supervise its forthcoming projects and activities.

ASW is a component of the progressive schemes on customs development shared by nations within the ASEAN perimeter of responsibility. Its role is the formulation and implementation of rules and procedures for trade facilitation.

ASEAN representatives meet regularly to brief their counterparts on the business arrangements on the adoption of their chosen agenda.

Activities and work program of the ASW steering committee are tackled as proposed by the ASEAN secretariat and thresh out the terms of reference on regulatory matters, standardization of data and documentation, business process and work flow and its application. Other areas of concern are the capacity-building program and pilot projects to be conducted where member countries may discuss the implementation of pilot projects of ASW with the support of ASEAN dialogue partners.

The Philippines being chosen to chair the ASW steering committee is a manifestation of the confidence of the other ASEAN member states in the capability of the Bureau of Customs under the leadership of Commissioner Rufino Biazon.
