The State adopts the use of tariffs in lieu of non-tariff import restrictions to protect local producers of agricultural products. All importers of rice are required to secure a Sanitary and Phytosanitary Import Clearance (SPSIC) from the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) prior to import in accordance with existing laws, rules and regulations.
