The Philippines imposes various taxes on imported vehicles, including customs duties, VAT, and excise taxes. These can add up to around 30-50% of the car's value. Assuming an average of 40%: Lower end: $20,327 * 0.4 ≈ $8,131 Higher end: $26,509 * 0.4 ≈ $10,604
Can you inform on shipping a car from Manila to Honolulu (or RP to USA?). Every single person who asked here about shipping from the Philippine to USA was misread as shipping TO the Philippines. But what is the cost and paperwork for shipping a newer car FROM the Philippines to USA?
It would be better to sell the car and buy in the Philippines. It's not so much the shipping fees as it is what the country charges to import a car. It's like buying the car twice.
Here's a summary of the fees and taxes for importing a motorcycle into the Philippines: Customs Duty: 40% of the motorcycle's book value Value-Added Tax (VAT): 12% (updated from the 10% mentioned in the older source) Ad Valorem Tax: 15% to 100%, depending on the motorcycle's engine displacement Other potential charges: Storage and arrastre fees Demurrage fees (charged by the shipping line) Wharfage dues (collected by the Philippine Ports Authority) The total cost can be substantial, potentially doubling the original price of the motorcycle. For example, if you were importing a high-end motorcycle like a Harley-Davidson, the final import duties and taxes could be approximately equal to the purchase price of the new bike.
Hello Im married to Philippine resident Im wanting to ship my 2004 Suzuki Hayabusa 1300cc to the Philippines Thoughts? Is Cebu an option over Manila? Any information is greatly appreciated USA
Shipping a 2004 Suzuki Hayabusa 1300cc to the Philippines would be subject to significant challenges and costs: Age restriction: The Philippines generally does not allow the import of vehicles over 10 years old. As a 2004 model, the Hayabusa would be well beyond this limit, making it ineligible for import. Import duties and taxes: Even if the age restriction could be overcome, you would face substantial fees, including: 40% Customs duty 10% Value Added Tax (VAT) Ad Valorem Tax based on the motorcycle's value Shipping costs: Container shipping for a motorcycle like the Hayabusa would likely cost between $1,700 to $2,200, depending on the origin and time of year. Total cost consideration: Given the bike's age and the high import fees, the total cost of shipping and importing could potentially exceed the value of the motorcycle itself. Customs clearance: The process would involve complex paperwork and potentially lengthy procedures. Registration requirements: Once in the Philippines, you would need to register the motorcycle, which may be challenging or impossible due to its age.
Hello, Thank you for this information. However, I am wondering if it's possible to ship a motorcycle from the Philippines to the US? I am from the US, and i recently married Filipina, and we would like to bring our motorcycle to the US with us. Thank you for you information and any help you can offer. Cheers, Tony
just take the motorcycle apart and send it through a “balik bayan” box and mark it as “parts” cuz thats what it is parts and get it built by someone or urself in the philippines thas how a friend of mine ships motorcycles🤌
It's cheaper to buy there. Some have tried dismantling a motorcycles and sending them that way, but they are already aware of this in the Philippines. If they catch you, you've opened to door to a whole separate set of legal problems.
People have already been caught doing this. The risk in 2024 isn't worth the reward. The fines have increased according to what I've read and heard from others online.
Shipping a 2023 Kawasaki motorcycle to Manila is possible, but it's very expensive.

Sorry, I answered the reverse question! As long as the vehicle meets the state's registration standards, you should be fine. If you've customized the vehicle, then you may have some problems.
@@internationalmoversyoutube thanks for the info. I believe importation to the USA from a private citizen is more hassle and cost than justifies it, even with a new car (unless its a BMW or something). Apparently there's big a laundry list of legality crap you have to do
Unfortunately, there is no special exemption for 4-wheelers that would allow you to avoid the high import fees. Import duties and taxes: 4-wheelers are subject to the same import duties and taxes as other vehicles. This typically includes: 40% Customs duty 10% Value Added Tax (VAT) Ad Valorem Tax (based on the vehicle's value) Age restrictions: Like cars, 4-wheelers can be subject to age restrictions. Generally, vehicles over 10 years old cannot be imported into the Philippines. Shipping costs: The cost to ship a 4-wheeler would be lower than a car due to its smaller size, but it would still incur significant shipping fees. Customs clearance: You would still need to go through the customs clearance process, which can be lengthy and complex. Registration requirements: Once in the Philippines, you would need to register the 4-wheeler with the appropriate authorities, which may involve additional fees and paperwork. It can cost 5x or more what the vehicle is worth.

In most cases, people agree that it makes more sense to sell the vehicle.

The Philippines isn't known for exporting cars. You'd have to speak with someone there who specializes in exporting vehicles.
