Why Should the Goods be Inspected?

In international transportation, the purpose of cargo inspection before shipment is to ensure that the goods comply with transportation requirements and international trade regulations, while reducing the risk of damage or loss of goods during transportation. Specifically, pre-shipment cargo inspection can help with the following:

The correctness of the quantity of goods: Cargo inspection can ensure that the quantity of goods loaded is consistent with the quantity on the waybill, avoiding disputes and losses caused by inconsistent quantities.

Integrity of packaging: Cargo inspection can check the integrity of packaging to prevent damage or deformation of goods during transportation. If there is a problem with the packaging, you can take timely measures to repair or replace it.

Eligibility of cargo quality: Cargo inspection can verify whether the quality of the cargo complies with relevant standards and agreements, such as checking whether the temperature, humidity, quality, size and other indicators of the cargo meet the requirements, so as to ensure that the cargo can reach the destination safely.

Legal compliance: Cargo inspection can ensure that the goods comply with international trade regulations and relevant laws and regulations, and avoid fines or other legal consequences caused by unauthorized or violation of regulations.

Do I have to pay customs for a package from China to the Philippines?

Yes, you might have to pay customs for a package from China to the Philippines if its CIF value exceeds PHP 10,000, which is the de minimis threshold. Below this value, no taxes or duties are generally charged. If the value is higher, duties ranging from 0% to 20% and a GST of 12% may apply based on the product's HS Code.

How much is a container from China to the Philippines?

It depends on arrival and departure ports, but for reference, you should pay about 900-1000 USD for a 20FT one and about 1700-1900 for a 40FT one.

What is the cheapest way to ship from China to the Philippines?

For shipping 20 or 40-foot containers, the route from Shenzhen to Manila is often the most cost-effective option. 

Regarding small parcels under 2kg, the cheapest method is typically China Post, though it's important to note that the transit time can be quite lengthy, ranging from about 2 to 4 weeks.

Are there freight flights from China to the Philippines?

Yes, freight flight services are operating between China and the Philippines. Cargo airlines facilitate the shipment of goods between the two countries, offering services that generally result in average transit times ranging from 1 to 3 days.

What is the payment method for shipping fees?

For shipping fees below 500 US dollars, we can accept payment through Paypal or T/T. If the shipping fee exceeds 500 US dollars, we can only accept payment through T/T. However, if your supplier is willing to make payment to us in CNY, we are also happy to accept it.

How can I track the shipping status of my goods?

For air freight: You can track the transportation route by entering the bill of lading number on the website of the airline company. The bill of lading number is composed of Arabic numerals and has a format of "***-**** ****". For sea freight: We usually recommend tracking the shipment through the container number on the website of the shipping company as this method is the most accurate.
