It offers cost-efficiency for higher volume loads and enhanced safety, as your fcl container remains sealed from the origin to the destination, reducing potential risks and damages to your goods.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong>For instance, an electronics manufacturer in Ohio, shipping a high volume order of televisions to a retailer in Manila, would opt for FCL.

It is a cost-effective option often preferred by businesses shipping small volumes.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL proves advantageous when your cargo volume is less than 13\/14\/15 CBM, where CBM stands for cubic meters. If you have a low-volume shipment, you pay only for the space you use in the container, offering both price benefits and flexibility.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Suppose a U.S. based small business needs to ship 10 CBM of handmade crafts to the Philippines. A full container load may not be economically viable. Opting for LCL shipping ensures they only pay for the 10 CBM space they occupy, making their shipping more affordable and efficient.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> While the lcl shipping quote may vary based on various factors, generally, the cost per CBM for lcl freight will be higher than that of a full container load. However, for shipments less than half the container's size, the total cost remains lower than booking an entire container. This illustrates the financial advantage of LCL shipping for smaller shipments.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">As your dedicated freight forwarder, DocShipper puts ease back into shipping, from the U.S. to the Philippines and beyond.

On the other hand, volumetric or dimensional weight is a pricing technique used by shipping providers. It takes into account the space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight.<\/p><br><p><strong>For air cargo, the &#8216;volumetric weight&#8217; is calculated using the formula: Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) \/ 6000. For example, a shipment with dimensions of 100cm x 100cm x 100cm would have a volumetric weight of ((100 x 100 x 100) \/ 6000) = 166.67 kg or approximately 367 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>In contrast, to calculate &#8216;gross weight&#8217;, you simply weigh the shipment. For instance, the same package might weigh 200 kg or 440 lbs gross.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Express air freight services follow a similar calculation, but with a different denominator\u20145000 instead of 6000. This means the same shipment&#8217;s volumetric weight would be ((100 x 100 x 100) \/ 5000) = 200 kg or 440 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Freight charges matter because shipping is charged based on whichever is higher &#8211; the gross or volumetric weight. This method ensures that carriers are compensated for space-hogging yet lightweight cargo. If your package&#8217;s dimensional weight exceeds its actual weight, you&#8217;re billed for the former, and vice versa.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b4d339d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b4d339d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"door-to-door-dg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34640950 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"34640950\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d85e729 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d85e729\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between US and Philippines<\/h2><br><p>International <strong><a style=\"color: #0e465f\" href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/door-to-door-shipping-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">door-to-door shipping<\/a><\/strong> is a complete solution where your cargo is picked up from its origin and delivered right to your chosen destination, fully navigating US to Philippines logistics.

Here&#8217;s why:<\/p><br><p>1. Trade Agreements: The US and the Philippines have beneficial trade agreements that can help lower your taxes. Understanding these deals is crucial. <\/p><br><p>2. HS Codes: The Harmonized System code shifts based on the country of origin, which directly affects your duties.<\/p><br><p>3. Import Restrictions: Knowing origin can tip you off to particular import restrictions that apply, helping prevent costly hitches.<\/p><br><p>4. Customs Duty Rates: Rates vary depending on the country of origin. You can&#8217;t accurately assess duties without this piece of the puzzle.<\/p><br><p>5.

While you might initially believe it&#8217;s simply the price of the products you&#8217;re shipping, that&#8217;s not the case. Customs Value extends beyond just product prices; it incorporates three key elements \u2014 the price of the goods, the cost of international shipping, and the insurance cost. This is known as the CIF value (Cost, Insurance, Freight). Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re shipping furniture anywhere from the US to the Philippines. <strong>If you paid $10,000 for the furniture, $1,000 for shipping, and $200 for insurance, your CIF value would be $11,200.<\/strong> This total is the Customs Value you&#8217;ll declare for customs clearance. Understanding this difference and knowing how to calculate it will add clarity to your shipping process and make international freight transportation a seamless experience.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1a98be3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e1a98be3\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e92b0a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e92b0a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>An import tariff is essentially a tax that countries impose on imported goods to protect domestic industry. In the Philippines, the type of tariff system used is the Harmonized System (HS) Code. To identify the import tariff applicable for your goods that are imported from the US to the Philippines, the process is as follows:<\/p><br><p>1. Find the corresponding HS code for your product. This code is a standardized numeric code used around the globe to classify products. Let&#8217;s say we\u2019re importing wool sweaters, which has an HS code of 6110.11.<br \/><br>2. After identifying the HS code, you would proceed to the Philippines&#8217; official tariff database, where you can search by the HS code to find your specific tariff rate. For example, wool sweaters may have a tariff rate of 10%.<\/p><br><p><strong>Now, let&#8217;s calculate how much you would pay for duties. Assuming the cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) price was $1,000, the calculation would be $1,000 10\/100 = $100. Hence, you would pay $100 as import duties for the wool sweaters.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, understanding the correct tariff rate for your product is critical to avoid unexpected costs or delays.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d82cda61 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d82cda61\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-595e26a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"595e26a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>After crossing the hurdle of standard tariffs, you might find yourself facing additional import duties and taxes. These extra charges can vary significantly based on the nature of the product and the country of origin. For instance, there might be an excise duty, applicable to certain goods such as alcohol or tobacco. This is generally a percentage of the cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) value of the goods, though the rates can fluctuate.<\/p><br><p>Anti-dumping taxes could also apply if your goods are sold in the Philippines at a significantly lower price compared to the US. This is to prevent market distortions and protect local industries. The rate will depend on the product and circumstances, but it&#8217;s crucial to factor this in your import cost calculations.<\/p><br><p><strong>Parsing these additional costs might seem like a tax labyrinth, but the one levy you must never overlook is the Value Added Tax (VAT). Currently, the Philippines has a standard VAT rate of 12% applied on the CIF value plus the duty. So, if your goods have a CIF value of $1,000, and the duty is $100, the VAT would be $132 ($1,100 x 12%). The actual rates may vary, and these figures are just hypothetical examples meant to clarify this point.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, every penny counts in international shipping. By considering these additional costs, you avoid nasty surprises and keep your budget on track. Because, after all, forewarned is forearmed.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2a81fa9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e2a81fa9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1238d10d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1238d10d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>In the world of global shipping, calculating customs duties for the Philippines when importing from the US involves several factors. First, there&#8217;s the customs value, essentially the purchase price of the product. Second, you might encounter Value Added Tax (VAT), and third, anti-dumping taxes may apply under certain circumstances. It may seem daunting, but let&#8217;s break it down with a few examples:<\/p><br><p><strong>1. A product worth $1000 with a duty rate of 3%, but no VAT, would incur $30 in customs duties.<\/strong><br \/><br><strong>2. If that same product also fell under the 12% VAT, the total charges would then become $150 (i.e., $30 in customs duties, plus $120 in VAT).<\/strong><br \/><br><strong>3. Now, imagine a high-value product, like a luxurious car worth $50,000. Suppose it falls under the 30% customs duty, 12% VAT, 3% anti-dumping taxes, and 20% Excise Duty. You&#8217;d end up with an added cost of $32,500.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>The savviest businesses leave nothing to chance.

Thus, for a frictionless, hassle-free shipping experience, it&#8217;s crucial to focus your efforts on complying with those specific regulations, which can range from local duties to obtaining an <strong>Importer&#8217;s Clearance Certificate.<\/strong> Ever thought of shipping auto parts, electronic gadgets, or even fresh fruit? Each product category may come with its own regulatory surprises. Peek into your cargo boxes, align your business model with the Filipino customs terrain, and you&#8217;ve got a green signal for your shipping adventure.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-49b46992 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49b46992\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-39e4a350\" data-id=\"39e4a350\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-242b826a elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"242b826a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get Started with DocShipper<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ddb1e07 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ddb1e07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStruggling with complex customs paperwork?
