The move comes, after the owners of these cars failed to adhere to the bureau’s 15-day deadline to submit documents.
BOC-CIIS Director Verne Enciso said, in this kind of situation, the vehicles can be seized by authorities.“Without proper documents and permits, these motor vehicles’ presence on Philippine soil means they are either stolen or smuggled,” Enciso said. “Crimes don’t just happen in dark corners. It happens in brightly-lit showrooms like where our operation happened,” he noted.
In July, BOC said it raided RDY showroom in Barangay Ugong, Pasig city where they found 197 imported vehicles — including 87 with questionable documents. Among the brands of vehicles under question were Lexus, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Jaguar, GMC, McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi, and Land Rover.
