PEZA MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 008-15

 

We wish to inform that the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) has amended Board Regulation No. 3 series of 2003 also known as "Comprehensive Guidelines on Importation, Distribution, Manufacture, Prescription, Dispensing and Sale of, and Other Lawful Acts in Connection with any Dangerous Drugs, Controlled Precursor and Essential Chemicals (CPECs) and Other Similar or Analogous Substances".

The new policy, which is called DDB Board Regulation No. 1 series of 2014, was published last 22 December 2014, with erratum published on 9 February 2015, by The Philippine STAR.

How to ensure compliance to DDB regulation on importation of CPECs?

1. Check the Material Safety Data Sheet or the Globally Harmonized System-Safety Data Sheet (GHS-SDS) of the chemical or materials to be imported, to ensure that it contains the minimum amount of information required by the DDB (Table 1). [Reference: Item (4f) Section 11 and Annex M — Material Safety Data Sheet and/or Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Classification of Controlled Chemicals, DDB BR 2014-01]

2. Submit the MSDS or GHS-SDS containing the minimum prescribed information by the DDB to the PEZA Zone Office or email to [email protected] for evaluation.

3. Lodge the PEZA electronic import permit (e-IP) application and allow supplier to ship the chemical or materials only after:

a. Goods are cleared by the PEZA Zone Office as unregulated; OR,

b. Regulated goods are accompanied by appropriate permits and PEZA Zone Office has given clearance to lodge e-IP application.

What are the requirements for importation of chemicals or materials with CPECs content?

4. If CPECs concentration is less than or equal to what is specified in DDB's Table of Concentration Limits (Table 2), secure PDEA license prior to importation. [Reference: items (3), (6), (7) Section 4, Annex D — Table of Concentration Limits, DDB BR 2014-01]

 Example: Importers of lead acid batteries (containing <30% by weight or volume sulphuric acid) for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) may now import the batteries without the need for a PDEA import permit or a DDB Certificate of Exemption. The importer however, needs to present a copy of a valid PDEA license to PEZA Zone Office.

5. If CPECs concentration is more than what is specified in DDB's Table of Concentration Limits (Table 2), secure PDEA license and PDEA Import Permit fifteen (15) working days before the arrival of the shipment.

a. Ensure that the amount of shipment corresponds to the amount specified in the PDEA Import Permit.

b. In cases where the total quantity of the shipment is more than 30% of the approved quantity in the PDEA import permit, the shipment shall be subject to seizure proceedings of the Bureau of Customs [Reference: Section 10, Section 26 DDB BR 2014-01]

6. PDEA license holders are required to maintain a controlled chemical register and follow the format prescribed by the DDB. Update the register within one hundred twenty (120) hours of any import, export, manufacture, supply, acquisition or disposal of the controlled Chemical. [Reference: Section 38, Section 26 DDB BR 2014-01]

What are the new policies affecting the process of securing a PDEA license?

7. PDEA license may be renewed within three (3) months prior to expiration and license holders are required to report discontinuance of license granted. PDEA license holders are advised to renew within the period covered to avoid payment of surcharge, if they will opt not to renew, licensees are advised to notify PDEA Compliance Service in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration to avoid payment of surcharge and to allow PDEA to conduct pre-retirement compliance inspection. [Reference: Item (10) Section 6 and Item (2) Section 18, DDB BR 2014-01]

8. Grounds for denial of registration of license as well as procedure for the suspension and revocation are prescribed in the new guidelines [Reference: Item (2) Section 8 and Annex F — Administrative Procedure in Suspending or Revoking License DDB BR 2014-01] TaCEHA

What are the requirements for storage, labelling, transport and disposal of CPECs?

9. PDEA license holders are responsible for the safe and secure storage and handling of CPECS, this shall follow the specifications in the MSDS or GHS-SDS. [Reference: Item (4) Section 41, Section 42, Annex L — Safe keeping, storage and transport, DDB BR 2014-01]

10. Notify PDEA Regional Office or Compliance Service in writing if damaged, expired or contaminated CPECs will be disposed. Chemicals for disposal or treatment are considered as hazardous wastes, thus, locators should only deal with DENR-registered hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal (HW TSD) facility for the proper management of wastes. [Reference: Item (2) section 42 DDB BR 2014-01]

What are the penalties imposed by DDB for importation without a PDEA Import Permit?

11. Penalty for violation of the DDB regulation has been revised

a. First violation — fine of P50,000 or 15% of the total value of the shipment (whichever is higher).

b. Second violation — fine of P50,000 or 30% of the total value of the shipment (whichever is higher) and a recommendation from PDEA that the shipment be subjected to forfeiture proceedings.

c. Third violation — fine of P50,000 or 50% of the total value of the shipment (whichever is higher) with a recommendation from PDEA that the shipment be subjected to forfeiture proceedings and responsible officials shall be criminally liable. [Reference: Section 51 DDB BR 2014-01]

For your information and strict compliance.
