필리핀 농무부는 저가 수입품으로부터 국내 생산자를 보호하기 위해 돼지고기, 닭고기, 커피를 포함한 여러 수입 농산물에 대한 추가 관세를 요청했다.
농무부는 농무부 명령 제15호를 통해 재무부 산하 관세청에 화물별로 가격 기반 특별 세이프가드 관세를 적용할 것을 요청했다. 이 명령에는 냉동 소고기 킬로그램당 89.22페소, 특정 닭고기 부위 및 내장 킬로그램당 93.96페소와 같은 구체적인 발동 가격이 명시되어 있다. 소시지, 가공육, 양파 및 다양한 커피 제품에도 유사한 기준이 적용된다. 세이프가드 조치법에 따라 농무부 장관은 수입 가격이 모니터링 수준을 위반할 경우 정식 조사 없이 이러한 관세를 부과할 수 있다. 무역구제국은 최근 해당 품목들의 CIF 가격이 설정된 기준치 이하로 하락했음을 확인했다.
