Are you a FIRST TIMER IMPORTER?

Pac-Atlantic commits itself to assist customers for all its logistics needs. If you are a first time importer, you need to have a valid Import License. In the Philippines, this is called Importer’s Clearance Certificate (ICC). Basically, you have to get a clearance first from the BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) before proceeding with ICC application. Below is a link to help you out:
