A new development in the Philippines regarding the US trade restrictions is now in motion, as the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) calls for a mechanism to ensure the products exported from the Philippines are not sourced from countries that practice forced labor. PCCI President, Ferdinand Ferrer, highlighted the importance of addressing this issue to maintain the country's competitiveness in the global market.
The recent US tariff imposed on Philippine goods due to findings of the US Trade Representative investigating the country's failure to curb forced labor in its imports, is a cause for concern, says Ferdinand Ferrer.
However, it's worth noting that not all Philippine products are affected by the tariff. Selected electronic products, automotive and aerospace parts, agricultural products and minerals are exempt from the levy.
To mitigate the potential disadvantage, PCCI is advocating for a solution which involves proving that exported goods from the Philippines are not sourced from nations that utilize forced labor.
President Ferdinand Ferrer, the President of PCCI, emphasizes the necessity of addressing this pressing issue to safeguard the country from potential penalties and to maintain the country's competitiveness in the global market.

While not all Philippine products are subject to the tariff, specific electronic products, automotive and aerospace parts, agricultural goods, and minerals are exempt from the levy.
To avoid any potential disadvantages, PCCI is pushing for a resolution that would ensure the exported goods from the Philippines are not derived from countries using forced labor.
