Relief Consignment is listed under which option?

Relief Consignment is listed under which option?

• A. Stores exemption
• B. De Minimis Importation (Section 423)
• C. Relief Consignment (Section 121)
• D. Special laws such as PEZA

Answer: (C)

Relief consignments are shipments imported for humanitarian aid and disaster relief that are exempt from duties and taxes by law. Section 121 of the Tariff and Customs Code provides this exemption to ensure relief supplies can reach those in need quickly without delays from tariff processing. This special provision is focused on humanitarian relief, not on commercial value or incentives. It differs from de minimis importation, which concerns very small-value imports under a monetary threshold and is covered by a different section, and it is separate from stores exemption (which relates to government or official stores) and from laws like PEZA (which govern zones and investment incentives).
