The Bureau of Customs’ (BOC) July 2025 collection overshot its target by 1.3%, with the agency taking in P85.459 billion against the P84.365-billion goal.

This marks the highest monthly collection for the bureau this year. It is also 6.4% higher than the P80.355 billion collected in July 2024 and more than the P77.035 billion posted in June 2025, the BOC said in a statement.

From January to July 2025, the BOC took in a total of P544.230 billion.

The bureau attributed its July performance to combined efforts of all its 17 collection districts, as well as targeted revenue sources, including collections from unpaid post-entry modifications, government importations under the Tax Expenditure Fund amounting to P3.103 billion, and the Post-Clearance Audit Group’s collection of P136.94 million.

The BOC said it achieved the milestone despite a 4.5-day suspension of operations due to severe weather conditions that disrupted port activities and customs processing nationwide.

“This achievement shows the power of good governance,” Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno said. “With integrity and focus, we will continue to deliver results that benefit the Filipino people and support the President’s vision for nation-building,” he added.
