Document background
The Exclusive Importer Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to establish controlled distribution channels in the Philippines through authorized importers. This document is particularly relevant when a foreign manufacturer or supplier wants to grant exclusive rights to a Philippine company to import their products into the Philippine market. The agreement must comply with Philippine laws, including the Civil Code, Customs Modernization and Tariff Act, and Competition Act. It typically includes detailed provisions on exclusivity terms, territorial restrictions, minimum purchase commitments, quality control measures, regulatory compliance requirements, and import procedures. This type of agreement is commonly used when establishing long-term import relationships and requires careful consideration of both international trade practices and local Philippine regulatory requirements.
