QUOTA “FIXING”/SELLING
“fixing” and quota selling are purportedly being done by notorious
individuals and that the names of certain officials of the GTEB are
being used allegedly to facilitate the processing, approval, and/or
release of documents from this office and to gain personal monetary
benefits arising from the above transactions.
The public is hereby informed that no official of the GTEB has
authorized, in any manner, any person or persons to use his/her name to
gain any special favors from GTEB.
Let it be known that quota allocations are awarded by the GTEB
through bidding. Quota allocations for critical categories are bidded
out according to performed local value added (LVA) in the preceding year
or period or based on promised LVA. On other categories, quota
allocations are based on shipment dates. For assistance or any inquiry
on quota allocations, the public is hereby enjoined to consult with
GTEB’s One-Stop Action Center (OSAC).
We appeal to the public to cooperate and report to us any persons
making such false representations so that those responsible can be duly
investigated and prosecuted accordingly.
The public is strongly warned against entering into any such transactions involving quota “fixing” and quota selling.
