My wife took 10 pounds of onions for consumption last time. They only cost a fraction here compared to the Philippines. Nobody asked about the content of her luggage or to submit this paper, which she filled in truthfully. I did the same three months later when I followed, not hiding anything. Nobody at customs asked my either. The onions were consumed within the following 4 weeks by us and some family.
If you can find asian market that sells balikbayan box that will be the way to ship household stuff to Philippines it cost from 100 to 115 per box no weight limit and it can be sent to any part of the Philippines good luck to you
Us passport holders doesn't get bothered at all this video are mainly for the Filipinos who is hard headed they know it's prohibited they stull do it I brought some presents snack goods to my relatives ground coffee creamer chocolates they're not worth 300 dollars no problem mostly I just ship the stuff 45 days before my arrival solves the problem
Your allowed to bring in your own personal items but you can't bring in a bunch of expensive goods for re-sell. I had my laptop with me that was over 10,000p.
She is typical pinay. Not spesific.. Personal items is no tax on. The 10 000 php limit is for new unused stuff in original box. (Likely for sale or givaway) You can have your laptop, watch, designer clothes etc. No problems at all.
All other travelers to the UK no longer need to take any COVID-19 tests or fill in a passenger locator form when travelling to the UK from abroad. These changes apply whether you are fully vaccinated or not.Apr 21, 2021
Yes that is what the foreign office will tell you . But 3 days before travel you need to make etrav upload vac cert’s or get bummed and tested and questioned. Win win for ph go elsewhere . They just wanted to advertise/sell open! but keep all the hidden restriction most likely you only find hidden requirement after you buy ticket as you can not fill out etrav before 3 days of travel See how that works 😮
Leaving the Philippines is much worse than arriving especially if travelling back to the US. The security check right after immigration is not bad but then there is another one to enter the boarding error. There will meet some of the most ignorant and obstinate Filipinos. They say they are following TSA rules but they don't have a clue. If you have a bottle of water you just got IN the secure area of the airport, you have to dump it. They'll dig through your bag and spend minutes just looking at something as a USB charger. On last trip had 4 new sealed boxes of Polvoron which are a Philippines small sweet short bread, which they tried to tell me was a powder and not allowed (yeah it crumbles easily but is a baked good not a powder). Arguing with ignorant people who can keep you from boarding your flight which about to leave is useless so they confiscated it all.
Thanks for the useful info. If I travel to the Philippines from the USA, I understand I only need a passport and not a visa. But what forms do I need to complete?
I think there was a thing way back last time I went called ghealth or something like that, basically a health declaration form upon entry and proof of a return ticket, otherwise you should be fine but look into that ghealth thing. Edit: it’s called eTravel so go check that out first as I just entered and they now require it
I understand media on USB devices are illegal, unless they are full disk copies, but entering the Philippines they don't understand or recognise that. If u have a laptop it is subject to search. We have phone media (music, movies and images) which was not searched. Cloud storage may work, or home server. Bringing pirated disks from the Philippines is illegal, but we didn't know that and it was not checked. These days 3 letter agencies already know exactly what is on your devices long before u travel, and what your interests are, but they are mostly concerned with child exploitation, drug activities and other threats, not with criminalising people in compliance to media industry demands just for taking a vacation.
I am going to Philippines 🇵🇭 in December, I am bringing my girlfriend and her sister laptops, camera 📷 and a drone. And my personal laptop. Do I need to declare these?
Where did you see such rules? I've never heard of anything so ridiculous, and have never had any kind of issue throughout SE Asia. Of course any gov't can and will take your gear if they suspect illegal activity. Likewise, CIA/NSA do not know what's on your systems unless they (think they) have reason to be concerned. Don't scare people needlessly; we're not living in 1984 yet -- although they are working hard on it.
@@dalexfilms thanks for the input, it was only hearsay of which I was expressing as a warning (not for dramatisation), but I hope you're right. I have a large music collection on hard drive which I wouldn't want confiscated and to be prosecuted for.
I'm an amateur radio operator and will be moving to the Philippines. What is the process for importing a radio. I know there are some hoops to jump through. I know that I am allowed to operate with my us license. I also know that transmitters are supposed to be registered.
If your an artist living in the Philippines and you want to send your art to the states , rolling up the canvas and putty it in a tube . If they inspect it and find it objectionable for whatever reason could they confiscate it ?
I take a number of prescription drugs for heart disease and diabetes. What are the rules regarding the importation of prescription drugs into the Philippines? I will likely have less than a two week supply as it is my last stop in Asia. Thanks for your helpful video.
The question I have is what happens if you want to bring some electronics as an US citizen? Say you have two laptops, some camera gear, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, all of which is over 10k when new, but is now rather used. Are you going to taxed for all of this? If so how much? Is it going to go off of the new value, or the current used value?
On March 10, 2023, CDC removed the requirement for air passengers from China, Hong Kong or Macau to show a negative COVID-19 test or documentation of recovery before boarding a flight to the United States.
The document states "in excess of $10,000". Thus, you can choose "no" if you're bringing in this amount, i.e., it does not have to be less than this amount.
@@virgiliod.9436 I entered with 20K USD cash as I literally forgot I put 10K in my one bag and never got hit. It really was an accident as my business deals in cash and that amount is not a big thing to me. I was on my trip for 2 weeks before I opened it and this was in early 2023. The US and PH government did not catch it and it was on my carry on!
Thanks for the information. However another question I have - can we bring cooked seafood in our luggage? It is being wrapped very good and inside a zip lock in a plastic box?
New subscriber last time there 2018 arriving in August best way to carry my credit card and cash through security at airport heard so many stories about this
No problem as it goes into the bin that's never out of your sight except when inside X-ray machine and they can't touch it either. Not to mention all the security cameras. So all the stories are BS.
You can only bring in 10,000 pesos worth of stuff? That's only about $180. My phone alone is worth more than that, plus clothes, meds, laptop. So I have to pay taxes on almost all of my stuff?
I brought 8 bottles of alcohol in last week. The paper actually says 2 bottles, 1 liter each or 2 liters. Thats a total of 70 ounces. 5 bottles were sample bottles of probably 1,5 ounces. 2 bottles of sake, probably 12 ounces and 1 bottle of 25ounces. Total of only 56 ounces. Well below. My question and zi forfot to ask when i arrived. On my next return, can I bring in a whole dried salami?
I am retiring in the Philippines. Can I bring all my expensive tools, testers and gadgets that I’ve been using in my job for the last 20 years without tax consequences? Total value exceeds $10,000.

thanks, Joselyn! i have a couple of processed salami, factory packed 3pounds apiece and 3 factory packed pistachios. im confident with the processed salami but not sure about the nuts w/c is worth 33$. are nuts ok?
TOURISM: Based on this video, I assume I would need to declare a Compass worth $300 USD, Binoculars worth $1200 USD, a Phone worth $700, and a Laptop with software and accessories worth over $1500 USD, for a total of $3700 USD (P185,000) ? These are purchase prices. How would I compute and prove Depreciation to show current worth ?
I have a question about the term "goods" I am going there for a 3 mos. working vacation and I will be bringing a lot of outdoor gear. Do I have to pay taxes on my clothings etc? My hiking boots alone are almost $200 US. Also is the $200 per item or in total.. It seeems crazy to pay import taxes on personal items. Regardless I just don't want any problems with customs.
I'm going to visit my family in the Philippines. I want to bring and give my old laptop to my brother but i also have my own personal laptop. is it allowed or possible to bring 2 laptops?
Just one question... As a photographer I always travel with an equivalent of more or less 10'000.- USD of Camera equipement at least ! Is that considered as "for personal use" ? Or would I have to pay a tax on my equipement as I alrady paid it when buying it in my country ? Thanks forward for your reply ;-)
Hello po ma’am. Can I bring a 6 boxes of chocolates. As a gift for relatives ? And also can I bring a covid test kits from the u.s ? Last question. How about empty USB . Thank you.
I’m flying to Philippines soon but I have stun gun, pepper spray, drone, solar battery charger, telescope, bubble gum, swimming tube, binocular, camera, lots of fashion jewelries, cheap watches, flash light and a red Australian dog what should I do so I can bring it all with me, thanks Joce!
I read somewhere that you are only allowed to bring in "goods" valued @ 10k pesos or less.which is equivalent to approximately $200. First question is what are considered "goods". Second quesiton is does the value refer to all goods combined or individual items? Thanks.
I have flown here twice a year for the last decade, at times with multiple boxes and luggage and I have never been checked. My first time I tried declaring and they just chuckled at me good naturedly and waved me through.
best mk ever and reason is simple, everybody can play it and everybody can have fun + people used every character and knew every fatality.. i still remember most. these days people know 1 character, 1 combo and if lucky 1 or 2 finishers.. using a main character will always be boring to me
What if im bringing gold bullion or coins to philippines from USA? Is it the face value of the gold coins or the spot price that customs wants declared? There’s no clear answer on this anywhere online.
Use the spot price to be safe, but you're right; it has never been properly addressed. Jewelry provides a convenient loophole in many countries, but don't push it.
so Im from USA and want to bring my 15k$ usd bicycle, 4k$ laptop, 15k$ rolex and about 5grand of other typical vacation stuff with me. There is no way on earth people are paying import duties and taxes anywhere else in the world when brining their nice stuff on vacation with them but your video seems to say that all this will be taxed? please advise
i am type2 diabetic. and i take 4 different medications for my type2. i will be traveling there in December for 25 days. is it ok to bring all my meds for the full 25 days? also can i bring diamond rings and gold rings with me?
Yes you can…so am I and I never had a problem. Just make sure all your medications 💊 are in their original packaging and containers, and have your name on the labels 🏷️ If you need to feel safer, just ask your doctor 🧑⚕️ to give you a letter. Good luck 👍
I just love jewelry so I collect the various stones in set( ring, necklace pair of earrings) but only one set of each kind. Are they considered as commercial value? Also, I have about 15 gold rings and 10 white gold and silver rings of different designs; no duplication of designs. Are the considered commercial value? I also bring all my jewelry with me when I travel. Will my jewelry put me at risk?
You can bring all of your jewelry as long as you have it with you. Don’t check them in with your luggage. I brought all my jewelry last May 29 and didn’t have any issues with the security and immigration in the Philippines 🥰
I came in May 2022 with over $3000 worth of Apple products: Personal iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro. Also had other personal items like GoPro with equipment. No one search my bag or said anything. If I could not get in without paying a duty or tax on these item, I would have not come in and went to Bangkok. Does the Philippines want tourist dollars or not?
I went to Cebu in 2014 & spent a crazy $13,850 in two nights I left a day later & was laid over in Vegas.I cancelled my trip flight & stayed the weekend there..I had the time of my life & hit the jackpot on the quarter slot machine & won $78k I decided to rent a car to Texas and stop off in Laughlin, Nevada & won an additional $21.5k on spin the wheel. 👍🏾
@@labounti Are you that blind? Do you not read between the lines? the word sketchy actually doesn't have anything to do with my visit there and it's none of your business but since you want to be nosy & a peeping Paula then I will break it down just for you, on how I spend my money ok. Here it goes lalabouncy...first, who said anything about buying home(s)? I went there strictly to have a good time, visit the culture, buy from the economy & see the sites & visit a few Army & Navy buddies who decided to stay back & live there in in the Philippines.why does it sound suspicious to you because of how & why I blow that much money? If I have the money then it's flat out none of your business on what I do with it. I'm a retired military man who is successful & I retired financially. I invested in stocks and owned a successful property business. even the information I gave you is none of your business. Just because I spend my money the way I choose has absolutely nothing to do with someone being "sketchy". It's obvious you lack any knowledge & concept on how to build up stocks & profits and gain from your earnings. What's the matter with you bouncy? Are you that naive & misinformed. I just donated $10,00 to the American Red Cross Friday..is that sketchy also Are you going to.. scrutinize me for that too? Snap out of it pilgrim! and grow a pair.!
Im hoping to spearfish and wanted to bring my spearfishing gear. Further I was hoping to see if a fishing license is required for foreigners and if so how much are they, how fast can they be obtained, and how do we go about getting them. Im going to borocay. Not sure if the laws are subject to different Islands.
Good info, I'm planning trip soon. I take opitoids the are prescribed by military Dr. Also prescribed Viagra. The opioid is for pain. Also other meds in general. What should I expect

Mostly only applies to returning Filipinos, I’ve entered the Philippines at least 50 times over the years and never been bothered.
I have 34 hours until first flight. I'll chance it but I have nothing but clothes, hygiene, shoes, phone, tablet and wallet.
Same here...been 13x in 5 years and none of this applies to me as a US citizen...except the 10k in cash.

I’m flying to Philippines soon but I have stun gun, pepper spray, drone, solar battery charger, telescope, bubble gum, swimming tube, binocular, camera, lots of fashion jewelries, cheap watches, flash light and a red Australian dog what should I do so I can bring it all with me, thanks Joce!
No weapons. You’ve been warned. Two years prison if found at customs. The Police
I read somewhere that you are only allowed to bring in "goods" valued @ 10k pesos or less.which is equivalent to approximately $200. First question is what are considered "goods". Second quesiton is does the value refer to all goods combined or individual items? Thanks.
Goods stand for things which are not your personal items and which you don't want to export again when leaving, any presents for example.
Do they check carry on as well as other luggage. Can i bring jewelry as a gift? What items can u bring out of Philippine s?
I have flown here twice a year for the last decade, at times with multiple boxes and luggage and I have never been checked. My first time I tried declaring and they just chuckled at me good naturedly and waved me through.
Very helpful information
My fiance will bring our wedding ring on August of this year. Does he need to declare it? Hope you notice. Thank you
Hi is it allowed to bring vegetable and flower seeds from USA to Philippines and uncooked chorizo from Philip pesto USA, thank you
I have peace of mind when i bring my personal jewelries when i stay for a longer period of time here in the u.s
And vice- versa
Thank you for the info
Thank you for the info. Question, would 2ea. 32 oz, bottles of shampoo be considered beauty products? Would they be allowed to enter?
Should be no problem as personal items, but be sure to package them securely, since they could leak.
I am surprised about jewelry since many women would have multiple gold earrings.
best mk ever and reason is simple, everybody can play it and everybody can have fun + people used every character and knew every fatality.. i still remember most. these days people know 1 character, 1 combo and if lucky 1 or 2 finishers.. using a main character will always be boring to me
What if im bringing gold bullion or coins to philippines from USA? Is it the face value of the gold coins or the spot price that customs wants declared? There’s no clear answer on this anywhere online.
Use the spot price to be safe, but you're right; it has never been properly addressed. Jewelry provides a convenient loophole in many countries, but don't push it.
Thanks young lady.
Thank you for watching.
so Im from USA and want to bring my 15k$ usd bicycle, 4k$ laptop, 15k$ rolex and about 5grand of other typical vacation stuff with me. There is no way on earth people are paying import duties and taxes anywhere else in the world when brining their nice stuff on vacation with them but your video seems to say that all this will be taxed? please advise
Is two reams of cigarettes the same as two cartons? That would be 10 packs x 2, or 20 packs of cigarettes?
Is the 150 thousand per person? How do we justify if a family went on Vacation and did shopping. Obviously, its gonna be over 150k.
I plan on bringing in Cremation ashes in a sealed cedar urn. Where do I contact the Bureau of Quarantine to get clearance.
Did you find anything out? I'm in the same situation.
No, I haven't found out anything yet.
My bag will be worth over 10,000 php empty. I thought it was 10,000 usd. Are you sure?
i am type2 diabetic. and i take 4 different medications for my type2. i will be traveling there in December for 25 days. is it ok to bring all my meds for the full 25 days? also can i bring diamond rings and gold rings with me?
Yes you can…so am I and I never had a problem. Just make sure all your medications 💊 are in their original packaging and containers, and have your name on the labels 🏷️ If you need to feel safer, just ask your doctor 🧑⚕️ to give you a letter. Good luck 👍
I just love jewelry so I collect the various stones in set( ring, necklace pair of earrings) but only one set of each kind. Are they considered as commercial value? Also, I have about 15 gold rings and 10 white gold and silver rings of different designs; no duplication of designs. Are the considered commercial value? I also bring all my jewelry with me when I travel. Will my jewelry put me at risk?
Nope..as long as they’re for personal use, you’ll be okay.. Just don’t put it in check-in bag or it may be stolen..
You can bring your jewelry with you as personal items. Just hand carry it.
Thank you responding fast. I always have them in my carry on luggage.
You can bring all of your jewelry as long as you have it with you. Don’t check them in with your luggage. I brought all my jewelry last May 29 and didn’t have any issues with the security and immigration in the Philippines 🥰
I know you are Pinay, are you staying there for good? Foreigners other than Filipinos doesn’t bring their jewelry when travelling on vacation.
I and dad bring Medicine and Insulin also needles hand carry. Are we allowed bring it side airline and are we to declare this medicine.
Hi madam goodeving, how you? I hope your doing fine. Ahm madam i want to ask you only if shoes is allowed to bring Philippines?
I came in May 2022 with over $3000 worth of Apple products: Personal iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro. Also had other personal items like GoPro with equipment. No one search my bag or said anything. If I could not get in without paying a duty or tax on these item, I would have not come in and went to Bangkok. Does the Philippines want tourist dollars or not?
They are personal. all good!
I went to Cebu in 2014 & spent a crazy $13,850 in two nights
I left a day later & was laid over in Vegas.I cancelled my trip flight & stayed the weekend there..I had the time of my life & hit the jackpot on the quarter slot machine & won $78k I decided to rent a car to Texas and stop off in Laughlin, Nevada & won an additional $21.5k on spin the wheel. 👍🏾
This sounds sketchy, how do you spend 13k in Cebu? Did you buy 4 Houses? lol.
@@labounti Are you that blind? Do you not read between the lines? the word sketchy actually doesn't have anything to do with my visit there and it's none of your business but since you want to be nosy & a peeping Paula then I will break it down just for you, on how I spend my money ok. Here it goes lalabouncy...first, who said anything about buying home(s)? I went there strictly to have a good time, visit the culture, buy from the economy & see the sites & visit a few Army & Navy buddies who decided to stay back & live there in in the Philippines.why does it sound suspicious to you because of how & why I blow that much money?
If I have the money then it's flat out none of your business on what I do with it. I'm a retired military man who is successful & I retired financially. I invested in stocks and owned a successful property business. even the information I gave you is none of your business. Just because I spend my money the way I choose has absolutely nothing to do with someone being "sketchy". It's obvious you lack any knowledge & concept on how to build up stocks & profits and gain from your earnings. What's the matter with you bouncy? Are you that
naive & misinformed. I just donated $10,00 to the American Red Cross Friday..is that sketchy also
Are you going to.. scrutinize me for that too? Snap out of it pilgrim! and grow a pair.!
Im hoping to spearfish and wanted to bring my spearfishing gear. Further I was hoping to see if a fishing license is required for foreigners and if so how much are they, how fast can they be obtained, and how do we go about getting them. Im going to borocay. Not sure if the laws are subject to different Islands.
On meats- can I bring a couple frozen beef steaks in airtight plastic bags packaged in a box ( like “Omaha Steaks” ) in checked bags?
Hello po tanong lang po yong jewelries po ba dapat ideclare kahit for personal use lang po?
