Customs single window expected to raise exporter competitiveness
Business World Philippines
|January 20, 2026
THE Bureau of Customs’ National Single Window-Integrated Trade Facilitation Platform (NSW-ITFP) will allow exporters to better compete within the region by lowering costs and improving the reliability of supply chains, the Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI) said.
-
“Importers and exporters used to shuttle between offices… (where) each agency had its own forms, its own queues, and its own delays. The NSW-ITFP promises to end that fragmentation,” the FPI said in a statement on Monday.
Citing the Philippines NSW website, the FPI said that 40 agencies are involved in the issuance of import and export permits, licenses, and clearances.
“If connected to a single digital portal, where one submission flows seamlessly across regulators, this will lower transaction costs for businesses, while faster clearance can improve supply chain reliability,” it said.
