Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP) was again recognized by the Bureau of Customs–Port of Batangas (BOC-Batangas) as its top import revenue collection contributor for the first seven months of 2026.
The distinction was conferred during BOC-Batangas’ 69th founding anniversary celebration held on August 17, 2026 in Bauan, Batangas.
During the first seven months of 2026, TMP remitted a total of P23.66 billion in customs duties and taxes, representing 16.4% of the collection district’s total revenue collection for the period and “demonstrating TMP’s steadfast commitment to compliant trade practices and national economic advancement”, the automotive company said in a statement.
The remittance was, however, lower than what TMP contributed in the same period last year, reflecting “broader macroeconomic headwinds and demand softening stemming from the energy crisis experienced during the first seven months of 2026.” Despite these market adjustments, TMP said it maintained its lead as the primary revenue generator for the port district.

BOC-Batangas district collector Carmelita Talusan said Batangas emerged as the country’s highest-performing collection district from January to July 2026, exceeding its revenue collection targets and accounted for nearly a quarter of total national customs revenue. Notably, in July 2026, the collection district further underscored its strong operational momentum by recording its highest single-month revenue collection in its 69-year history, collecting P24.208 billion, 3.22% higher than its target of P23.452 billion for the month.
Talusan expressed gratitude to all port stakeholders, acknowledging TMP alongside other major industry partners in the automotive and energy sectors for their vital roles in driving the district’s milestone collection performance. She earlier said the port’s collection performance remains driven by oil, petroleum, and automotive imports.
TMP said its trade operations are anchored by its Batangas Vehicle Center in near proximity to the port, as well as its status as an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Level 2 certified entity. TTMP was the first company to be accredited under BOC’s AEO Program, a customs-to-business partnership that seeks to enhance international supply chain security and facilitate movement of legitimate goods.
Through sustained public-private synergy with BOC, TMP said it continues to support nation-building efforts while ensuring efficient delivery of automotive products and services across the Philippines.
