Question & AnswerQ&A (DECS ORDER NO. 35, S. 1999)
The term 'automobile' has the same meaning as 'motor vehicle' defined under Republic Act 4136, also known as the 'Land Transportation and Traffic Code.'
It covers all automobiles and trucks imported as Completely Knocked-Down (CKD) and Completely-Built-Up (CBU) by members of CAMPI and TMA who are participants in the Motor Vehicle Development Program (MVDP).
Participants must submit the Assembler's Stock Report (ASR) in the prescribed LTO format, importation documents such as packing list, bill of lading, commercial invoice from country of origin, import entry declaration, engine and chassis/frame number stencils, owner's green copy of the BOC Certificate of Payment (CP), and the official receipt covering the imported unit.
No, the LTO shall register such vehicles without issuing a Certificate of Confirmation; however, the Certificate of Registration (CR) is only released upon presentation of the original copy of the Certificate of Payment.
The indicator 'G' signifies that only the green copy of the BOC CP was presented. It is encoded during registration at the Regional Office and removed upon submission and validation of the original copy at the Central Office.
The LTO Central Office Registration Section will report the discrepancy to the Bureau of Customs for appropriate action and hold further processing of the affected stock report or motor vehicles in abeyance until corrected.
They must submit a monthly certified true copy inventory of registered motor vehicles, their corresponding Certificates of Payment, and CSRs/prooflist to the Registration Section, which will be forwarded to the BOC.
No, all non-automated district or extension offices are prohibited from registering motor vehicles covered by this circular.
The agencies involved are the Land Transportation Office (LTO), Bureau of Customs (BOC), Philippine National Police - Traffic Management Group (PNP-TMG), Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI), and Trucks Manufacturers Association, Inc. (TMA).
