[Title] => Businessmen want SGS back as third party contractor
[Summary] => Frustrated by persistent conflicts with the Bureau of Customs over the valuation of imported goods, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) wants the government to accredit Societe Generale Surveillance (SGS) as third party contractor to conduct independent valuation for importers.

[Title] => Gov't decides to retain services of pre-shipment inspector
[Summary] =>
The government has decided to retain the services of a pre-shipment inspector,
with the Societe Generale Surveillance (SGS) as the leading bidder for the new
service contract.
This developed even as the Estrada administration has not found the money to
settle its P4.5-billion arrears with the SGS.
The new service contract will cover pre-shipment processing since the Bureau of
Customs has shifted its basis for customs valuation from home consumption value
to transaction value.
This removes the need for pre-shipment inspection, but to assuage the fears of
the business sect
