HOW TO AVAIL OF THE SERVICE

Registration with BOI for the Electronic Certificate of Authority to Import (eCAI)

1.  The MVDP Participant submits to BOI a letter request of their intent to use the Electronic Certificate of Authority to Import System (Annex A), and their initial list of importables in soft copy format (Annex B) providing the following details:

•  Company BOI Registry Number

•  TIN

•  Commodity Code

•  Part Number

•  Item Description

•  AHTN Code

•  Indicative FOB Value

•  Manufacturer/Supplier

•  Model

•  Variant

2.  Upon submission of the List of Importables by the MVDP Participant to BOI, the BOI MVDP Authorized Officer will create the profile of the MVDP participant and upload the list to the BOI Trade System.

Procedures in the Approval of the List of KD Parts:

Approval of the initial list of importables after it has been uploaded in the BOI Trade System)

1.  The BOI Trade System will automatically classify the items in the list as either LISTED or UNLISTED in EO 262 based on the AHTN code assigned to each item.

2.  After the BOI Trade System classifies the items as LISTED or UNLISTED, the BOI Authorized Officer will need to classify the models based on the following classifications:

·  W/PDP – Participant has submitted the Parts Development Plan (PDP) for the model. The Participant will be allowed to file an eCAI for the model under this classification.

·  W/O PDP – Participant has not submitted the PDP for the model within the timeframe set by BOI. The Participant will not be allowed to file an eCAI for the model under this classification.

·  W/Waiver – Participant has secured a waiver from either MVPMAP or MCPPEA for the model. The Participant will be allowed to file an eCAI for the model under this classification.

·  New Model – Participant has declared that this is a new model and is given 8 months by BOI for the submission of the PDP. The Participant will be allowed to file an eCAI under this classification.

3.  Based on the model classification, an email alert will be sent to either MVPMAP or MCPPEA informing the authorized officers of MVPMAP or MCPPEA that they will need to log into the BOI Trade System with their assigned usernames to tag the items in the list as either QCD COMPLIANT or NON-COMPLIANT. MVPMAP and MCPPEA will be given a 24 hour limit to tag the items. If items were not tagged within the 24 hour limit, they will be automatically tagged as NON-COMPLIANT by the system.

4.  The authorized BOI Officer must tag the items in the submitted list as W/PDP, W/O PDP, W/WAIVER after the confirmation of either MCPPEA or MVPMAP.

·  W/ PDP – The Participant will still be able to file an eCAI for the MODEL. However, the approved eCAI printout will include a list of items that are not allowed to enjoy lower tariff.

·  W/O PDP – The Participant will be able to file an eCAI for items tagged as W/O PDP.

·  W/Waiver – The Participant will be able to file an eCAI for items tagged as W/Waiver.

5.  The Participant may now file an eCAI once BOI tags the items. However, should the Participant lack reportorial requirements, Participant will not be able to file an eCAI until they settle it with BOI.

Setting Up of ePayment Account:

The MVDP Participant/Broker must set up a CAI Fee Account by remitting funds to the BOI Cashier. The BOI Cashier issues an official receipt and forwards the payment details to the authorized BOI Officer. The Authorized BOI officer logs into the BOI trade system and updates the ePayment account of the participant.

–  The BOI Trade System checks if the item being imported is included in the approved list of importables of the MVDP Participant.

–  If the items are included in the approved list:

•  The BOI Trade System debits the account of the User and approves the CAI application generating the CAI number and Processing Fee details.

•  The User receives and prints the approved IP and attaches it to the Import Entry with the Invoice and Airway Bill for processing at the Bureau of Customs.

•  Should the User not have the sufficient amounts in their account to cover the CAI fees, the BOI Trade System will reject the CAI application and sends a corresponding message back to the User.

–  If the item is not included in the approved list:

The BOI Trade system will reject the IP Application and sends a corresponding message back to the User.
