フィリピン農務省（DA）は、安価な輸入品から国内生産者を保護するため、豚肉、鶏肉、コーヒーを含む複数の農産物に対して追加関税を課すよう要請した。
農務省令第15号において、同省は財務省を通じて税関局に対し、貨物単位で価格に基づいた特別セーフガード関税を適用するよう求めた。この省令には、冷凍牛肉（1キログラムあたり89.22ペソ）や特定の鶏肉部位および内臓（1キログラムあたり93.96ペソ）など、具体的な発動基準価格が記載されている。同様の基準は、ソーセージ、加工肉、タマネギ、および各種コーヒー製品にも適用される。セーフガード措置法では、輸入価格が監視対象の基準を下回った場合、農務長官は正式な調査を経ることなくこれらの関税を課すことが認められている。貿易救済局は、リストに記載された品目の直近のCIF価格が、設定された基準を下回っていることを確認した。
