It establishes and reallocates customs territorial/jurisdictional authority by upgrading port status and creating/defining a new customs collection district with specified exclusions and sub-port structure.
Because that area is governed by a distinct legal and administrative framework under RA 7227, Proclamation No. 984, EO No. 381, and other appurtenant laws; thus its customs jurisdiction is not included in the new collection district.
It allows jurisdiction over “such other areas as shall be added by the Commissioner of Customs,” in addition to the entire province of Bataan, while still subject to the EO’s framework and any required approvals/limitations.
