                    [Summary] => The local automotive industry is asking the government to peg the country’s most favored nation (MFN) tariff rate for completely built-up units (CBUs) at 30 percent to 50 percent compared to five percent for CBU imports from ASEAN member countries.


The MFN rates would apply to CBU imports outside of ASEAN.


Since the Philippines had never agreed to bind its automotive tariffs when it joined the World Trade Organization (WTO), the local automotive sector is now seeking an even higher tariff wall for CBU imports from countries outside of ASEAN.
