Hogs producers press Tariff Commission to review offal tariff.
Domestic hogs producers have strongly urged the Tariff Commission to review the extended tariff rates on imported frozen edible offal and for the Department of Agriculture to establish the first border inspection facility to minimize smuggling and misdeclaration of imported animal meats.
Signed on December 29, 2022, Executive Order No. 10 states that meat of swine, fresh, chilled or frozen, maize, rice, and coal shall be subject to the Most Favored Nation rates of duty. Chester Tan, president of National Federation of Hog Raisers, said that there is no need to extend the low tariff rate on imported meat because tariff has not really been effective in reducing prices of commodities.
