Foodstuff generally does not require FDA (Food & Drug Administration of PH) clearance particularly if in small quantity & for personal consumption. However, if it is consigned to a company and/or in quantities not just for personal consumption, the importer is usually required to provide the License to Operate, Product Registration, & Permit to import. Fresh meat products (eg. frozen steaks) mandatorily require Quarantine clearance (one working day to process).
