PAYABLE DUTIES & TAXES FOR ITEMS SHIPPED TO THE PHILIPPINES<\/h2>\n

Some territories have a duty free allowance on imports, meaning that goods under a specific value are tax exempt. Ship To Philippines \u00a0is no exception: imports valued over 10,000 PHP require a duty and goods over 10,000 PHP are taxable. Some items are also subject to a proportional duty or additional tariff, including alcohol and tobacco. Please note that imports with a declaration of \u201cno commercial value\u201d cannot receive a duty free exemption. All commercial goods are required to have their declared price or value listed on the waybill\/shipping documentation.<\/p>\n

Import customs are payable upon delivery of the package to the Philippines, not when they are sent from your virtual mailing address or your virtual mailing addresses. As a result, duties & tax are not included in the cost of your ShipByMail shipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
