In as much as the supply of chicken and chicken products has stabilized and the trigger price of these commodities has been breached as determined by the industry and relevant government agencies, the SSG duty on imported chicken and chicken products (HS Code No. 0207.14 92) pursuant to CMO 42 dated November 21, 2002 is hereby reinstated for imposition pursuant to the letter of the Secretary of Agriculture dated September 13, 2004 which states:

"However, it is the view of the industry and the relevant government agencies that the supply situation of chicken and chicken products has already stabilized.  Moreover, the trigger price of other cuts and offal of fowls of the species Gallus domesticus, frozen under HS Code 0207.14 92 has again been breached (refer to Attachment A^*).

In light of this, we are requesting the reinstating of the SSG duty imposition on imported chicken and chicken products under HS Code 0207.14 92 effective immediately."

This Order shall take effect immediately upon signing.

Adopted: 08 Oct. 2004
