Summary of Presidential Decree No. 1476

Policy and Rationale:
- The State aims to encourage domestic processing of local raw materials like copra. (Whereas clause)
- Certain importing countries impose tariff structures that burden processed items like coconut oil, making domestic processing less attractive. (Whereas clause)

- The export duty on copra is increased from 6% of the gross F.O.B. value to the following rates: (Main provision)
    - 7.5%, effective January 1, 1979 to December 31, 1980. (Section (a))
    - 9%, effective January 1, 1981 to December 31, 1982. (Section (b))
    - 10%, effective January 1, 1983. (Section (c))

Presidential Authority:
- The President retains the authority to modify or change the rates of duty on coconut products by executive order, as provided for in Section 515 of the Tariff and Customs Code. (Final provision)

Effectivity:
- This Decree takes effect immediately. (Final provision)
