BOC impounds two ships involved in ‘paihi’ of P20M unmarked fuel Two fuel tankers are now under the custody of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) after they were seized by the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Services-Manila International Container Port (CIIS-MICP) for their involvement in the illegal fuel transfer, or “paihi” modus, at the Navotas Fish Port. The operation yielded P20,350,000 worth of unmarked fuel, or highly dutiable petroleum products, without proper fuel markings, which indicates the nonpayment of necessary taxes and duties.
