00:00It's made in China.
00:03This SmartLED TV is priced at P30,000.
00:06It's being sold in a warehouse in Plaridel, Bulacan.
00:09It's cheap, but it's blocked by DTI.
00:12The reason?
00:13It doesn't have ICC.
00:14It's not passed the Product Standard and Import Commodity Clearance of the country.
00:19ICC and OPS Mark prove that the product is safe and good quality.
00:27We're sure that it won't affect our lives or our products.
00:32DTI is monitoring the product to ensure that it's safe.
00:36It's high quality, safe to use,
00:38the name of the product is marked,
00:40the manufacturer and its address,
00:41the ingredients,
00:42instructions on how to use it,
00:44and packaging.
00:45PS Marks are placed on the boxes of each product,
00:48and ICC stickers on the product itself.
00:50These products are not found in warehouses in Plaridel.
00:54It's an obligation.
00:55There's a penalty if it's not placed.
00:57It means that we can see that there's no ICC or PS Mark.
01:01They're probably not certified.
01:03Imported from China and Korea are the substandard products.
01:07Because it's not certified by DTI,
01:09it's a requirement for importation.
01:11The smugglers are probably smuggled.
01:13It's being sold secretly at a low price,
01:15and it's usually passed through online shopping apps.
01:18The store showed an ICC sticker,
01:21but it's not included in the product that is prohibited by the law.
01:24DTI will also know if the sticker is legitimate
01:27and if it's a product.
01:29That's why we caught them.
01:31We did a test buy.
01:32We have concerned citizens, consumers,
01:35who bought from them,
01:37and they said there's no ICC sticker.
01:40More than 24,000 items of substandard and smuggled products
01:45were smuggled,
01:46with an equivalent value of more than Php 43 million.
01:50This is the biggest catch in the three-month operation
01:53of the DTI Task Force, Kalasag.
01:55The task force aims to prevent illegal products from being sold
01:59and ensure the safety of consumers.
02:02Anyone can be a part of this.
02:04This is the ICC Verification System app.
02:08It's downloadable.
02:09Even ordinary consumers can install it on their cell phones.
02:14They just need to stick it on the ICC sticker.
02:17We check the details to see if it matches the product.
02:20In this way, the government's collection of taxes will also increase
02:23and can be used for the benefit of every Filipino.
