Hello. Is there a limit of purchases of 4K Bluray in Amazon? Bought 3 titles. Naunang naship yung 2. Then yung last kakaship lang kahapon and ang status ngayon is Delayed at Customs "Your package is being processed by Customs officials. UPS may require additional information from you."

What is the biggest item (in terms of size) you have ordered from Amazon? also less than 10 k.
I am thinking of ordering a PC monitor, and would like to know if I would be having any problems shipping it here. So far I dont have any problems with my orders, which are small and less than 10 k , from books to Bluray box sets

New Bureau of Customs Memo Adds Fees to De Minimis Shipments

Do you constantly have things shipped from abroad? Then pay attention cause your next small package may cost you more than usual. The Bureau of Customs' (BOC) latest memo on customs duties, fees, and charges adds fees to "de minimis" shipments, with DHL Philippines announcing that it will soon come into effect.

The BOC's Customs Administrative Order (CAO) No. 02-2024 memo introduces customs charges, affecting shipments entering the Philippines with a value of Php 10,000 and below, a.k.a. de minimis shipments. 

And so for folks that rely on DHL, note that starting June 17, a new handling fee of Php 430 will be added to "de minimis" shipments in adherance to regulations outlined in the memo. The express service provider emphasized that this fee will not be subject to VAT as it is a BOC charge. It will also be reflected in your invoice and receipt.

Dammnnn...plus with the peso -$ rate..pahinga mun ako kay Amazon hehe

[questforthegoodlife]

I read a comment somewhere that the additional cost is on a total shipment basis. For example, for one airplane, the extra cost is 30k or 40k. so you distribute it amongst all the shipments it should cost minimal. But DHL is making a money grab by using this as an excuse to charge php430 per package.

Actually, it's more mababa ang ₱eso?

Masaya mga ofw, kawawa local work force.

Pero still, marami pa rin good deals sa Amazon Prime ngayon, lalo mga qualified for free shipping.

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't really checked other deals yet. I was just really looking to buy the NVidia Shield for quite some time now so I ordered immediately.

Bought a bunch of espresso coffee accessories from Amazon (6 items) and the tax charged doubled the total cost.  Oh well, back to good old Johnny Air for me.

You can break it down to smaller transactions. So kunwari 3 items each transaction. Sayang naman sir.

What if its a single item over 10T?

agree. hati hatiin mo ang transaction. Actually sa checkout pa lang, makikita mo na kung i charge ka nang customs tax.

Free shipping naman basta abot 50USD.  Wag rin masyado close ang each transaction baka mapansin nang customs

[bachwitz]

I charge ka nang tax nang customs, which is anlaki.

IMO dapat lakihan na ang 10T na tax free. Kase ang laki na nang inflation.

[lithium_deuteride]

So keep whatever you buy below 10t is the rule?  If above 10t, Johnny Air na lang?

hayaan mo na.. tax yan ng kaban bayan.. wag lang kurakutin..

Yes. It's about $170 limit. Basta pag checkout, kita mo na if subject to taxes.

If > 10k, I send via Kango if small sized item. Sea freight na kapag bulky. And I try to look for the item outside of Amazon, in case may mas mura.
