    DA Administrative Order No. 09, series of 2013, Supplemental Guideline to DA Administrative Order No. 26, series of 2005, Section III: Accreditation Procedure for Meat Importers

    Chapter 02 (Meat and Meat Preparations)

    This administrative order prescribes the accreditation procedures for meat importers.


  • G/LIC/N/2/PHL/147


    Department of Agriculture Administrative Order No. 16 of Series 2021 - Licensing Procedures for Meat Importers, Revising the Department of Agriculture Administrative Order No. 09 Series of 2013 entitled "Supplemental Guideline to DA AO No. 26 Series of 2005, Section III: Accreditation Procedure for Meat Importers"


    Modification of specific details in existing procedures: Administrative purpose; Duration of licensing; Documentation requirements (including application form); Licence fee/administrative charge; Validity of licence


    The main rationale of the changes is the harmonization of terminologies in accordance to Republic Act No. 10611 otherwise known as the "Food Safety Act of 2013" that the amended guidelines used the term "license" from "accreditation". Also, to streamline the documentary requirements and procedures in accordance to Republic Act No. 11032 otherwise known as "An Act of Promoting Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Delivery of Government Services, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 9485, otherwise known as the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007, and for other purposes".


    The coverage of this licensing system is HS 02 – Meat and meat preparations, except 02.10 – meat salted, smoked, or in brine.
