Philippines Ups Chicken Imports
WASHINGTON - Nov 13/06 - SNS -- The Philippine Department of Agriculture authorized imports of 2,000 metric tons (MT) of chicken leg quarters and/or whole chicken to augment the anticipated shortfall in supply this holiday season.
The U.S. agricultural attache for the country said, similar to the 3,000 MT announced last month, it is expected that this additional chicken importation will be over and above the Minimum Access Volumes and be exempt from special agricultural safeguards.
It will only be subject to the regular tariff rate of 40%. However, the shipments must arrive in the country not later than December 31, 2006 to be exempt from SSG duty. Moreover, the importation will be limited to members and representatives of the United Broiler Raisers Association and the Northern Mindanao Poultry Industry Association.
