Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an importer of record in the Philippines?
In most cases, yes. A locally registered entity must act as the official importer for shipments entering the Philippines. Foreign companies without a Philippine entity typically use an Importer of Record to ensure compliance and avoid delays or penalties.
How long does customs clearance take in Manila?
Standard customs clearance typically takes 1–3 business days when documents are complete. More complex shipments may take 3–7 business days depending on inspections and regulatory requirements.
Can a foreign company import directly into the Philippines?
No. A foreign company cannot directly import without a local entity. Using an Importer of Record allows companies to import legally without establishing a Philippine business.
What documents are required for import into the Philippines?
Most shipments require:
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Bill of Lading or Airway Bill
Additional permits or certifications may be required depending on the type of goods.
Common Import Problems
Many shipments into the Philippines are delayed due to:
Missing or incorrect documents
Lack of proper importer registration
