The Bureau of Internal Revenue issued Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No. 10-2020, 30 March 2020, exempting all items imported under Section 4 (o) RA No. 11469, from securing an ATRIG.
The RMO provides that all importations of health equipment and supplies deemed as critical or needed to address the current public health emergency, declared as exempt from VAT and excise taxes under Section 4 (o) of RA No. 11469, shall be released from customs custody without need of an ATRIG. This extends to the importation of materials needed to make health equipment and supplies deemed as critical or needed to address the current public health emergency provided the importing manufacturer is included in the Master List of the DTI and other incentive granting bodies.
The exemption shall cover importations of health equipment and supplies provided under Section 4 (o) of RA 11469, which arrived and were cleared by the BOC during the three-month effectivity of RA 11469, unless extended or withdrawn by Congress or ended by Presidential Proclamation.
