CITIZEN’S CHARTER

The STMO supports the Department’s goal towards a globally competitive and innovative industry and services sector that contribute to inclusive growth and employment generation. The following services are offered by the STMO to contribute to this goal:

1. Registration of STMO Services

Registration refers to the act of entering the exporters, importers, and brokers of strategic goods and providers of services into the registry established by the STMO.

Registration to STMO Services is covered under Republic Act No. 10697. In consonance with DTI Administrative Order 19-07 or the STMO’s phased implementation of STMA services and published guidelines, the mandatory registration process will initially start with activities covered in DTI Memorandum Circular 20-26 (Export Authorization), MC 21-06 (Brokering and Financing), and MC. 21-37 (Annex III) until the coverage for other activities in the transfer of strategic goods is announced by the STMO. STMO may refer the application for an advisory opinion to other government agencies, if needed.

2. Individual License

An authorization granted to one specific natural or juridical person to engage in the export, import, transit, transshipment, re-export, reassignment of strategic goods, and the provision of related services for one end-user, consignee and covering one or more strategic goods. 

Individual Authorization is covered under Republic Act No. 10697. Information from other government agencies may be needed in the evaluation of the application. Rule IV, Sec. 4 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A 10697 states that the time that elapses between the date the STMO requests the information and the date such information is received from other government agencies will not be counted in the processing timeframe.

3. Global License

Global Authorization is covered under Republic Act No. 10697. Information from other government agencies may be needed in the evaluation of the application. Rule IV, Sec. 4 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A 10697 states that the time that elapses between the date the STMO requests the information and the date such information is received from other government agencies will not be counted in the processing timeframe.
