The Philippines is seeking an exemption for coconut exports from the reciprocal tariff imposed by the United States, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
"We are seeking exemption from reciprocal tariff for Philippine key products including coconut and its derivative products," Trade Secretary Cristina Roque told reporters.
Coconut exports to the US are among those being slapped with the 19 percent reciprocal tariff that took effect on Aug. 7.
