New BOC payment facility

THE Bureau of Customs (BOC), has added a new online payment facility to further ease doing business at the waterfront.

In a statement, the agency said it signed an agreement (MOA), June 11, 2020, with PayMaya, an online payment remittance facility, together with the Bureau of Treasury and the Development Bank of the Philippines.

The arrangement is aimed at “ensuring tax collection efficiency and seamless customs services,” the BOC said.

To pay fees and charges through PayMaya, the client may indicate his preference for online payment in the Customer Portal. The client would then receive the invoice through their email address. The invoice will show the fees or charges due and the corresponding amount. The client shall click on “Pay”. Once all the relevant Cardholder Information is provided, the client shall click on “Complete Order”. The client may opt to save the card for future use before confirming payment. Once confirmed, the payment will be processed for 2-3 seconds.

After payment processing, the client shall receive the transaction status. Clients can choose to give their email address or SMS number to receive the transaction receipt.
