Decision Date: Jul 10, 1987

Milk imported in bulk containers (now defined as 20 kgs or more) is subject to a lower ad valorem tariff rate of 10%.

Any existing laws, orders, issuances, rules, or regulations inconsistent with this amendment are repealed or modified accordingly to align with the new definition and tariff rates.

Immediate Effectivity

The Executive Order takes effect immediately upon issuance, ensuring swift application of the amended definitions and tariff rates for milk importation.
