Privatization and Management Office(PMO)

Hi, 

I am contacting you on behalf of a contract research organization (CRO). May I know what the current process is for securing a Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) clearance for shipping biological specimens?  Can this be done online? We plan on exporting laboratory samples from several local sites (Luzon and Visayas) to our central lab in Singapore. I would like to request for a list of required documents, soft copy of application form/s, fees, and payment methods. 

Thank you!
