MANILA, Philippines (Updated 11:15 p.m.) — Bureau of Customs officials blocked 7,021 metric tons of sugar from coming into the country from Thailand through Subic Port after learning that the import permit was previously used for an earlier sugar shipment, Malacañang said Friday.

 

Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service chief Joeffrey Tacio reported that cargo vessel MV Bangpakaew was initially allowed to discharge its load as it was not covered by the withdrawn order to import 300,000 metric tons of sugar.

 

But Tacio said they found that the import permit used for the shipment was “recycled.”
