 Nagreklamo ang mga lokal ng manufacturer ng mga produktong bakal laban sa

umano’y talamak na pagpapalusot ng “finished metal products” 
 Nagtataka ang mga nagrereklamo kung paano nailusot ang mga steel rods sa
presyong mas mababa sa presyo ng scrap metals.
 Ang paliwanag ng Cebu Customs sa mga nagrereklamo ay “transaction value
method” ang ginamit para malaman ang buwis at taripa sa mga imported products.
 Sa sistema ng “transaction value method” tanging dokumento lang ng shipment na
nakalagay ang presyo at notaryado sa pinanggalingan ng produkto ang kailangan.
Pwedeng tanggapin na lamang ito ng customs collector kahit na may iba pang
prescribed BOC valuation methods and references para ma-double check ang
deklaradong presyo.
 “Kung seryoso ang BOC na sawatain ang technical smuggling, madali lang, kung
mahigpit nilang i-enforce ang Valuation Procedure o kaya dapat i-cross reference yan
sa Metal Bulletin Weekly, Steel Business Briefing of London o MySteel ng China
kung saan makikita ang tamang presyo ng bakal o metal,” sabi ng tagapagsalita ng
mga nagrereklamo.
 Ang reklamo ay nagmula sa Philippine Iron and Steel Institute at Galvanized Iron
Wire Manufacturing Association at ipinarating kina Department of Finance (DOF)
Sec. Cesar Purisima at Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner Ruffy Biazon.
 Ang Philippine Iron and Steel Institute at Galvanized Iron Wire Manufacturing
Association ay may annual sports festival kung saan nagsasama-sama ang lahat ng
mga miyembro mula sa buong bansa para makipagtagisan ng galing sa iba’t ibang
isports tulad ng figure skating at gymnastics.
 Ang inirereklamo ay isang kumpanya na naka-base sa Mandaue at mayroong maliit
na steel rolling plant. Ang kumpanya ay ang pangunahing nag-aangkat ng finished
steel products tulad ng ‘smaller sized steel wire rods’ na nirorolyo para maging
‘reinforcing steel bars’ at ibinebenta sa mga hardware store para sa mga maliliit na
construction projects.
 Ang reklamo ay nagmula sa mga local na manufacturer ng mga steel products sa
Cebu.
 Ang mga ‘finished metal products’ ay ibinebenta sa mas mababang halaga kaysa sa
scrap metal.
