                    [Summary] => The Philippines plans to cut some of its existing tariffs for pharmaceutical products, while lowering tariffs on raw material inputs as part of the soon to be completed comprehensive review of the country’s tariff program.


This was disclosed by Tariff Commissioner Edgardo Abon who said that the review is now in the final stage with only a few minor issues to be resolved including cleaning up some typographical errors.


Abon was hopeful that a new tariff program would be ready for signing by the President during the next congressional break.

Business planners are currently relying  on 2005 tariff rates, at least for the first quarter or the first half of 2006, as the technical committee of the Cabinet-level TRM has not yet finished its own review of the earlier submitted comprehensive overhaul done by the Tariff Commission.
