PROCEDURES IN MONITORING MOVEMENT AND SHIPMENT OF “D” OR WORLD MARKET SUGAR CONTAINED IN BAGS AND TRANS-SHIPPED FROM OTHER PORTS PRIOR TO LOADING INTO THE INTERNATIONAL VESSEL

Please be guided of the following guidelines/procedures that the
Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) shall impose on above subject of
monitoring the movement and containerized shipment of “D” Sugar
contained in bags:

A. Movement/Shipment of D-Sugar within the Philippines

1. D-Sugar shipments must be shipped separate from other classes.

2. Traders/Shippers must inform SRA (DRMG-OIC) on the schedule of
loading D-Sugar into container vans. Such notice shall include a
request for the presence of an SRA Monitoring Team to observe the
loading.

3. Loading of D-sugar into the container shall be observed by a
duly-authorized SRA Monitoring Team. An SRA seal shall be attached to
the door of the container van after loading. The SRA seal number shall
be recorded, which shall be included in the Report of Loading D-Sugar,
submitted to the Administrator’s Office no later than the next day.

4. Upon arrival of the shipment at the destination, example in
Manila, the shipper must notify the SRA (DRMG-OIC). Said notice must
include a request for an SRA Team during the opening of the container.

5. Prior to opening, the SRA Team must check the SRA seal as to
its integrity. The SRA authorized representative must be the one to
break the SRA seal.

6. If the seal is tampered, the container will not be opened and
will instead be resealed, and the SRA Administrator will be informed.
The SRA Administrator will then send additional personnel to verify the
seal and witness the opening of the container. The container will be
opened upon the instruction of the Administrator.

7. The unloading of the sugar from the container will be
recorded. The number of bags, markings, and other pertinent data must be
gathered and included in the Report of Unloading D-Sugar at
Destination, which must be submitted no later than the next day.

8. The D-Sugar must be stored in a separate and distinct stockpile from other classes of sugar.

9. An SRA-accredited stock ledger must be maintained and updated at the warehouse.

B. Movement/Shipment of D-Sugar to the World Market (Export)

1. When the loading Authority is issued, the exporter must inform
the SRA on the date of loading. Such notice must include a request for
an SRA Monitoring Team to observe the loading.

2. During loading, the SRA Team must witness until closing of
the container van. An SRA seal shall then be installed. The container
number, quantity of sugar loaded, SRA seal number, and other pertinent
information must be recorded and included in the Report of Loading
Export Sugar, which must be submitted on the next day.

3. The exporter must inform the SRA when the container van loaded
with export sugar is delivered to the Port of Origin for shipment
abroad. The SRA Monitoring Team shall inspect the shipment prior to
loading on the international vessel.

4. The exporter shall submit proof, including a sworn statement
from the consignee, that the sugar arrived at destination and was
received by the consignee. Such statement must state the container #,
shipping line seal #, and SRA seal #.

For compliance.
