In 2024, the Bureau generated P172.019 million in revenue from public auctions, contributing to its overall collection of P931.046 billion for the year.
The auction forms part of BOC’s commitment to uphold transparency and maximize government recovery from seized and abandoned goods, in accordance with the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act and Customs Administrative Order No. 03-2020.
The process is conducted by the BOC Auction Committee, often in the presence of Commission on Audit representatives to ensure integrity and accountability.
