Customs
The Philippine customs threshold (de minimis) is 10,000 PHP (~160 EUR) — shipments up to this value are exempt from both duty and VAT. Above 10,000 PHP, VAT of 12% and customs duty per HS code (typically 5–30%) apply. Shipments above 50,000 PHP require a formal customs declaration through a licensed customs broker. The Philippine Bureau of Customs is more efficient than in the past, but delays of 3–7 days during clearance are normal.

- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.
