The destroyed goods include clothes, diapers, toiletries, medical supplies and canned goods from Belgium, Norway and the United States transported to Cebu in 2014. BOC-Cebu District Collector Elvira Cruz said the canned goods and medicines are already expired. The clothes, meanwhile, were not distributed or donated to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) since doing so is prohibited under a memorandum released in 2011 that bans the acceptance of forfeited used clothing. The bureau refused to release an estimation of the value of the destroyed items, as the consignees did not file an "import entry" that determines the value of shipped goods. The BOC can destruct or condemn harmful and prohibited goods as stated under Republic Act No. 10863 or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act. Donations coming from different countries were being disposed of because some of the relief goods like the imported goods and medicine were already been expired. The relief goods were donated last January 2014. But since the donors and consignees did not get an exemption from the payment of taxes and duties from the Department of Finance which is needed before the shipment will be released, it was declared as abandoned in June 2017. Aside from goods and medicine, diapers, clothing and undergarments, and kitchenware were also donated.
