all items brought into the philippines are taxable whether used or brand new yet used items are entitled to a 10k discount esp. for ofw, balikbayans and residents who stayed abroad for 6 months and up.

I'm reviving this thread...

I have a package sent thru FEDEX from the US. I ordered a few items for my fishing hobby online. Total package cost (including shipping) is US$120.60, and the package is @ .80lbs in weight. The chart above (2nd post) is giving me a headache computing.

How much all in do i have to pay for Customs Duties & Taxes? Can somebody pls help me? i bloody scared that i'll be paying more (or half) of the total cost i payed for the package, which bloody hogwash.

Pls help. PM me.

Thanks

If you really have to have it, then pay the taxes.

I paid $150 shipping for a $120 Gregory backpack. But then, you won't find Gregories here. Only North Face and most of these are fakes.
