Illegal cosmetic products and supplements seized in Valenzuela raid
Agents of the Bureau of Customs seized imported cosmetic products and supplements when they raided a warehouse in Valenzuela City on Friday, Oct. 1.
Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo B. Guerrero said the confiscated items have no approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The agency is still verifying the market value of the goods.
Guerrero, who signed the Letter of Authority (LOA), said that the smuggling of imported items is one of the reasons why local businesses are struggling at the moment.
“We’re already in the middle of the pandemic and our economy and people are suffering,” said Guerrero.
“I think the Bureau has one of the biggest roles in helping protect the economy. When we stop these illegal goods from entering the market, we are ensuring the protection of our local businesses, especially those who are already struggling because of COVID,” he added.
