EO No. 805 cites Article VII, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution (President’s control and supervision over executive departments, bureaus, and offices) and PD 1772 (amending PD 1416), which expressly grants the President continuing authority to reorganize the National Government, including creating, amending, changing, or modifying powers, functions, and authorities.
EO No. 805 reorganized the Intelligence and Enforcement Group (IEG) of the Bureau of Customs into two separate offices: the Intelligence Group (IG) and the Enforcement Group (EG).
The two offices are the Intelligence Group (IG) and the Enforcement Group (EG).
Each group is headed by a deputy commissioner: the Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Investigation (DC-II) heads the IG, while the Deputy Commissioner for Enforcement and Security (DC-ES) heads the EG. Both are appointed by the President.
Under the IG is the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS). Under the EG is the Enforcement and Security Service (ESS).
EO No. 805 states that the technical and support staff shall primarily be drawn from existing personnel of the original IEG.
EO No. 805 allows the DC-II and DC-ES to recommend organizational enhancements for their respective offices to the Commissioner of Customs, subject to evaluation by the Department of Finance (DOF) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
Recommendations are submitted to the Commissioner of Customs. They are evaluated by the DOF and the DBM.

In its recitals, EO No. 805 states that the IEG gathers intelligence information related to customs and economic activities, conducts internal inquiry and investigation, and exercises police authority.

Section 5 covers effectivity.
It re-structures the Bureau of Customs by splitting the former combined IEG into two distinct operational units—one focused on intelligence and investigation (CIIS) and the other on enforcement and security (ESS)—each led by separately appointed deputy commissioners.
