菲律宾已请求美国将其出口产品排除在针对强迫劳动相关商品的拟议关税之外。菲律宾贸易与工业部向美国贸易代表办公室提交了意见，主张该国已具备强有力的保障措施。
在由贸易部副部长Ceferino Rodolfo提交的文件中，菲律宾贸易与工业部指出，菲律宾已拥有完善的法律框架和打击强迫劳动的良好记录。该部强调，在2023年至2026年间，菲律宾向美国出口的482.5亿美元商品中，仅有0.01%（即271万美元）被拒绝入境。
该机构补充称，目前正在起草一份与劳工与就业部及财政部的联合行政令。该行政令将制定相关程序，以处理有关进口商品涉及强迫劳动生产的指控。
今年6月，美国贸易代表办公室提议，对缺乏有效保障措施国家的进口商品额外征收12.5%的关税。对于拥有禁令或部分监管制度的国家，将面临10%的关税。如果该方案获得通过，将涵盖美国主要的60个贸易伙伴。
