The Philippines charges customs duty on imported goods above PHP 10,000 (approximately AED 660) in declared value. Balikbayan boxes sent by overseas Filipino workers may qualify for duty-free treatment under the Balikbayan Box Program, provided the shipment meets specific conditions.
Electronics attract 0–10% duty depending on the item. Clothing and textiles are charged around 15–20%. Personal effects from OFWs may qualify for exemptions. The Bureau of Customs assesses duties, and the receiver pays at delivery or clearance.
If you're a Filipino worker in UAE sending personal effects home, ask us about Balikbayan box regulations. Proper documentation can help your shipment qualify for duty-free entry. We help prepare the correct paperwork.

Sending stock, samples or B2B orders — not a personal parcel? Commercial shipments to the Philippines need the right paperwork, and we prepare it for you. Here's what a business shipment usually needs:
