- Later registrants. Entities newly registered after August 30, 2025 will be added to the list on the BIR website.
- Brand and variant registration. Under RR No. 3-2006, RR No. 7-2021 and RR No. 14-2022, brands and variants must be registered within six (6) months from the release of the Circular to avoid penalties.
