The Philippine Department of Agriculture has required re-validation of the import certificates for agricultural products. No official procedure was posted for the process however, creating confusion for importers. It appears that the online system to apply for new permits has been restored, although no new permits are confirmed as being issued. Import permits must be issued prior to shipping a cargo. Exporters are advised to allow for delays in issuance, and in clearance of cargoes upon arrival.
