Charges to Be Aware Of

There are quite a few things that you need to be aware of before you ship your vehicle here.

If it’s a Government-owned wharf, the car will cost you $0.694 for a ton and there is a minimum charge of P$10.00

Required Documents for Shipping your Car to the Philippines

• Authority import permit
• Passport of the owner
• Bill of sale or proof of purchase
• Registration
• Engine number

It’s particularly helpful if you can actually be present at the port of arrival when the cargo wharf gets there as the car could be searched by the customs.

Restrictions on Shipping Cars to the Philippines

The first thing that you need to obtain is a special Authority Permit if you want to import a private vehicle. This is available through the Philippines Bureau of Import Service and it’s only available from the country itself. Only left-hand drive vehicles are allowed within the country as the RA8406 rule bans all right-hand vehicles.

In any case, you should also know that there is a limit of only one car per family when you want to import in the Philippines. It is best if you work with an auto transport service as the company would be well aware of all the regulations as well as the important things which need to be taken into account. This is going to ensure a hassle-free transit.

• Roll-on/Roll-Off: This is the most affordable way to ensure that your car reaches Baguio safely. It is driven on the deck, harnessed in place and you only pay for parking space. At the port in Philippines, it will be driven off the deck. There are some limitations such as only shipping an empty vehicle, devoid of personal belongings and air conditioning gas.
• Container shipping: This is a safer and more secure way of shipping your vehicle. You have the option of putting personal belongings with the car in the same 20 feet or 40 feet container.
