"In our many seizures of illegally imported goods, we encountered some of these importers to be non-existent, although accredited with the Bureau of Customs," Biazon said, adding that, "The BOC list of accredited importers has been in existence for years already. With our discovery of non-existent and fictitious importers, we will now carefully scrutinize the documents of each accredited importer to validate and verify their actual existence."  The Bureau's importers accreditation is done by the Interim Customs Accreditation and Registration Unit (ICARE) under lawyer Rhea Gregorio. This unit used to be under the BOC's Revenue Collection and Monitoring Group (RCMG) during the time of former Customs Commissioner Angellito Alvarez. Under the BOC's current leadership, however, ICARE was transferred to the Intelligence Group (IG) under Deputy Commissioner Danilo Lim as part of the BOC's organizational reforms to streamline its operations and enhance revenue collections.
