3  DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE  
3.1  MAV Secretariat  
3.1.1   Agricultural products  
Outline of System  
1. Pursuant to Republic Act No. 8178 - Agricultural Tariffication Act of 1996, the Department of 
Agriculture is mandated to implement a Minimum Access Volume (MAV) mechanism for selected 
agricultural products taking into account the country 's commitment under the World Trade 
Organization -Agreement on Agriculture (WTO -AoA). Under the MAV mechanism, an importer of MAV 
products must secure a MAV license for his volume allocation prior to importation.  
Purposes and coverage of licensing  
2. The MAV mechanism is intended for a n equitable and transparent mechanism for allocating the 
Minimum Access Volume (MAV)  of agricultural products . This mechanism will be applied to 
14 products at 4 -digit level of the Harmonized System (HS) code, to wit: HS 0101 (Live Horses); 
HS 0102 (Live Cattle); HS 0103 (Live Swine); HS 0104 (Live Goats); HS 0105 (Live Chicken); 
HS 0201 (Beef); HS 0203 (Pork), HS 0204 (Meat of Goats); HS 0207 (Meat of Chicken); HS 0701 
(Potatoes); HS 0901 (Coffee); HS 1701 (Sugar); HS 1005 (Corn); and HS 1006 (Rice).  
 
3. The requirement applies to the above -mentioned products originating from any country.  
 
4. The licensing requirement is not intended to restrict the quantity or value of imports. It is being 
instituted to implement the TRQ commitment of the country and monitor the utilization of the 
allocated volumes of the MAV licensee. The DA is not consi dering any alternative methods to achieve 
the purpose mentioned above.  
 
5. Republic Act No.  8178 requires the licensing. This legislation cannot be abolished without a 
legislative approval. RA No. 8178 provides that implementing rules and regulations shall  be issued 
for the MAV rules. The following are the relevant rules in the implementation of the MAV:  
 
• Administrative Order No. 52, series of 2000 – Administrative Order providing further 
amendments to the rules and regulations for the implementation of the  agricultural Minimum 
Access Volume (MAV);  
• Administrative Order No. 1, series of 1998 , amending Administrative Order No. 8, series of 
1997 – Rules and Regulations Implementing the Minimum Access Volume (MAV) Mechanism 
under the Department of Agriculture (D A); and  
• Administrative Order No. 8, series of 1997.   
 
Procedures  
6. For quota products:  
 
I.  All regulations are circulated and made available to interested parties. They are also published 
in the Official Gazettes and/or in the national newspapers.  G/LIC/N/3/PHL/16  
 
- 13 - 
 
  II.  Import quotas are determined on an annual basis. The tariff rate quota year is from February 
of a given year to January of the following year. Tariff quotas are allocated twice during the 
quota year. In February, the incremental quota for the quota ye ar, the allocation of the prior 
quota year which have been recalled and any portion of the quota not taken up during the 
prior quota year are put together in a Beginning Year Pool (BYP) which is apportioned to 
license holders and new entrants. In July, the  allocations surrendered or relinquished by 
licensees on or before the last working day of May of the quota year are put together in a 
Mid-Year Pool (MYP) which is reallocated to other qualified applicants.  
 
Quotas are granted on the basis of an importer's  past performance in relation to historical 
growth in sale. In the initial year of implementation, products covered by the TRQ mechanism 
are classified into two types: (a) those which have been imported regularly and in substantial 
volumes during the repre sentative period; and (b) those which have been irregularly or 
scarcely imported. Allocation of licenses for regularly imported agricultural products is based 
on import shares. Meanwhile, irregularly imported products are allocated based on local output 
shares. Under this system of allocation, a portion of the licenses has, by necessity, been 
allocated to domestic producers. Subsequent entrants are accepted on the basis of import 
history.  
 
III.  Licenses are allotted for MAV applicants who have been in the business as an importer of a 
regularly or significantly imported MAV product; or who have been a user or a seller of an 
imported MAV product.  
 
To ensure that licenses allocated are actually used for imports, MAV licensees/importers are 
required to obtain a  MAV Import Certificate (MAVIC) from the MAV Secretariat which will be 
used in transacting with the Bureau of Customs (BOC) for the release of their imported MAV 
products.  
 
Unused allocations are not added to the quotas for the succeeding period.  
 
The lis t of licensees and their corresponding allocations are published in two newspapers of 
national circulation. Governments and export promotion bodies of exporting countries can 
readily have access to this information.  
 
IV. The application period for regular allocations and access to the BYP of a MAV allotment year 
shall start on the first working day of November and ends at 5:00 PM on the last working day 
of November of the prior MAV year. The application period for access to the MYP shall open 
on the third w orking day of June and close at 5:00 PM on the first working day after 15 June 
of the MAV allotment year. Applications submitted after the close of these application periods 
shall not be accepted. Only applications submitted to and received by the MAV Secr etariat 
shall be honoured.  
 
V. The processing period of application for MAV licenses is approximately one month.  
 
VI. Once the MAV license is issued, the MAV licensee can undertake importation 15 days after the 
publication of the allocation for the MAV year. 
 
VII. Only one administrative body considers the application for license which is the MAV Secretariat 
of the Department of Agriculture, 4th Floor DA Building, Elliptical Road, Diliman, Quezon City. 
Email: mavsecretariat@yahoo.com . Telephone: (632)  9201786.  
 
VIII.  The allocations of MAV licenses to applicants follows the outlined response in item III above 
and it is followed regardless of whether the demand for license i s fully satisfied or not.

  10.2  Bureau of Philippine Standard s 
10.2.1   Electrical and electronic products, mechanical, building and construction products 
and chemical, consumer and oth er products and systems  
Outline of System  
1. The DTI -BPS operates mandatory product certification for a number of electrical and electronic 
products, mechanical, building and construction products and chemical, consumer and other 
products and systems. Ther e are 82 listed Philippine National Standards under the BPS Mandatory 
Certification Scheme covering some 111 products and systems . 
 
The DTI -BPS subjects these products to sampling, inspection and testing based on specific PNS prior 
to distribution and sale  in the Philippine market with the necessary Philippine Standard (PS) or 
Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) marks.  
 
Purposes and coverage of licensing  
2. These schemes are the Philippine Standard (PS) Quality Scheme and/or Safety Certification 
Scheme and the Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) Scheme.  
 
Under the Philippine Standard (PS) Quality or Safety Mark Scheme (DAO 4:2008), the DTI -BPS 
issues a licen se to allow a company to affix the PS Quality or Safety Mark to its products, after audit, 
inspection, sampling and testing to determine that such products meet the relevant PNS. 
The certificate is valid for three years subject to at least annual surveilla nce. The BPS assesses a 
manufacturer's production processes and product. For cement , steel and plywood , aside from 
sourcing the products from PS License holders, all importations must secure a Statement of 
Confirmation (SOC) on a per shipment, per Bill of lading, per product basis (see DAOs on cement 
and steel).  SOC must also be secured for ceramic tiles and ceramic plumbing fixtures if these are 
sourced from PS License holders.  
 
On the other hand, the Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) is applicable to products that are not PS 
certified (not applicable to steel , cement  and plywood  products, which is subjected to mandatory PS 
Scheme). The ICC certificate is issued on a per shipment, per Bill of Lading, per product basis. 
The products are sub ject to relevant audit, inspection, sampling and testing. DAO 05:2008 specifies 
that importers are offered four options for their applications to be processed, which include: (1) an 
application without a Product Test Report but with a Quality Management Sy stem (QMS) based on 
the ISO 9001 and its future amendments; (2) an application with a Product Test Report and with a 
QMS based on the ISO 9001 and its future amendments; (3) an application without a Product Test 
Report and without a QMS; and (4) an applica tion with the Philippine Standard (PS) license from a 
foreign supplier.  
 
See Annex  G for the list of products and respective HS Codes.  
 
3. The system applies to goods originating from any country and the prospective importers decide 
from what country they wish to import goods.  
 
4. The rationale behind the mandatory product certification is to protect consumers from trade 
malpractices and from sub -standard and/or hazardous products.

Dual-Use Goods (Annex N), and Nationally Controlled Goods ( Annex O ). 
 
3. The system applies to all countries without exception.

known as the Strategic Trade Management Act (STMA). Authorization/licensing is statutorily

government 's policy to protect a nd enhance government revenue, institute fair and transparent

Generally, all goods may be freely imported into and exported from the Philippines without need for 
import and export permits, clearances provided that no law or regulation says otherwise. The same 
law also provides that goods which do  not fall under th e general rule or those which are "regulated " 
require securing the necessary goods declaration, clearances, licenses and any other requirements, 
prior to importation.

Republic Act No. 9487: Under PD 1869, PAGCOR exercises two functions, as gaming operator and 
regulator of all persons primarily engaged in gaming. As such, PAGCOR and its affiliates or Licensees
