[Title] => BOI readies draft EO for duty-free import of capital goods
[Summary] => The Board of Investments (BOI) is set to submit to Malacañang before May 14 a draft Executive Order extending EO 313 which grants duty-free importation of capital equipment to firms registered with the BOI.
The effectivity of EO 313 was for a period of two years from May 2004 to June this year.
The BOI has thus drawn up a new EO that would extend the applicability of EO 313. The main objective is to have the new EO effective immediately upon the lapse of EO 313.

[Title] => Local producers enjoy zero tariff importation of capital equipment
[Summary] => The duty rate on capital equipment, spare parts and accessories for domestic manufacturers will finally be reduced to zero from the current one percent following approval in principle by the Cabinet-level Tariff and Related Matters (CTRM) committee.
