Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions serving a wide range of industries around the world, announced today that it has been accredited by the Government of The Philippines as a Bulk and Break Bulk Cargo Surveyor 

The accreditation confirms Intertek as a surveyor for all non-containerised cargo destined for the Philippines which must, under new government legislation, be inspected at the port of origin. All bulk cargo shipments are now required to undergo an inspection for Quality, Quantity and Dutiable Value.

David Gregory, Vice President of Intertek’s Government Services said:  “Intertek has a proven track record in working with Governments to help them streamline their import processes. We are delighted to have been awarded this accreditation and look forward to working with the Government of the Philippines.”

Jay Gutierrez, Chief Executive for the Government Services and Oil, Chemical and Agri Divisions, said “Intertek’s global services network, located in over 100 nations, supports this program, helping the Philippine government to ensure products imported from around the world are delivered in good order to the people of the Philippines.” 

Intertek provides inspection programmes for Governments worldwide, and has issued over 1.5 million test reports and certificates to global exporters to ensure that their goods clear customs smoothly.
