Philippine Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (PCCI)
Contributes the Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) Gateway to help ease the BOC's operations. The Gateway
communicates directly with the BOC from remotely-located computer
workstations, with EDI users or subscribers using their own respective
computer systems through commercial Value-Added Network (VAN) Service
Providers. The PCCI-EDI Gateway acts as the “buffer” between
the BOC computers and the outside world. The Gateway checks all message
transmissions of import entry declarations directly coming from the
clients via VAN Service Providers to the BOC as Customs declaration
(CUSDEC). It then transports back these messages as Customs Response
(CUSRES) from the BOC to the VAN Service Providers to the clients.
