Frequently Asked Questions

Documentation readiness, port/terminal congestion, carrier schedule changes, and last-mile delivery constraints are the most common drivers of ETA variance.
Customs brokerage cost in Manila is typically structured as a professional fee per entry (import or export declaration), plus any government duties, taxes, port fees, storage, and regulatory endorsement costs that are passed through at cost. For standard general-cargo sea import entries released through MICP or the Port of Manila, a typical Manila customs brokerage professional fee starts at PHP 3,500 to PHP 8,500 per entry, depending on: commodity complexity and tariff classification risk, whether the shipment is red-line (exam required), how many endorsements or permits are needed (PEZA, BOI, FDA, BAI, etc.), shipment value, and whether the importer has a valid Tax Clearance and customs bond in place. For export entries or air freight through NAIA, Manila customs brokerage fees are usually lower, starting at PHP 2,500 to PHP 6,000 per export declaration or airway bill release. Our customs brokerage Manila team provides a transparent quotation before any work begins, itemising: broker's professional fee, BOC duties and taxes (computed per HS code), arrastre / wharfage, storage if any, trucking if requested, and any third-party regulatory fees. We do not apply hidden markups on government charges. To get a fixed written quote, send us your commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading or airway bill — our Binondo office responds within 4 business hours with the exact cost to clear your cargo.
We follow documented SOPs, staged receiving/putaway processes, and handling guidelines aligned with cargo type and risk level.
The quickest way to reduce customs delay risk is to submit accurate and proper documentations. Make sure your paperwork shows consistent product descriptions, correct HS classification guidance, complete consignee details, and matching quantities and values across all forms. Where needed, prepare any permits or certificates before arrival so clearance can move without hold.
