Philippines Tariff Policy
Dear Valued Customers,
To ensure a smooth delivery of your genuine TBSS TAIWAN parts (KYMCO, Yamaha, SYM), we have prepared this guide regarding Philippine import regulations and shipping expectations.
1. Understanding Customs Duty and VAT (The 10,000 PHP Rule)
The Philippines Bureau of Customs (BOC) applies a "De Minimis" value for imported goods. Please review the following:
-
Orders Under 10,000 PHP (Duty-Free):
-
If your total order value (including shipping and insurance) is 10,000 PHP or less, it is generally exempt from Customs Duty and Import VAT.
-
Shopping Tip: To ensure the fastest delivery and avoid any taxes, we highly recommend keeping your total order value under 10,000 PHP. If you have a large order, consider splitting it into two separate shipments.
-
-
Orders Over 10,000 PHP:
-
Orders exceeding this value are subject to Customs Duty (3%–10% typically) and 12% VAT.
-
DHL Disbursement Fees: If shipping via DHL, they will advance these taxes to the BOC for you. DHL will charge a "Disbursement Fee" (administrative fee) for this service, payable upon delivery.
-
PhilPost Fees: For EMS or Air Parcel, you may be required to pay a flat "Presentation to Customs" fee (approx. 112 PHP) to your local post office.
-
2. Shipping Methods and Estimated Delivery Times
We have updated our estimated delivery windows to include a 2-day buffer for international transit and local processing.
| Shipping Method | Estimated Delivery | Features |
| DHL Express | 3–5 Business Days | The fastest and most reliable service for Metro Manila and major cities. |
| EMS (Speed Post) | 7–12 Business Days | Balanced speed and cost, delivered via PhilPost. |
| Air Parcel | 12–17 Business Days | Standard international air mail service. |
| International e-Packet | 17–22 Business Days | Economical tracked service for small/light parts. |
※ Note: Deliveries to provincial areas (outside Metro Manila) or islands may take an additional 3–5 days.

A Note on Tracking
