The Shipping Methods Available
Transporting a car can be done in one of two ways. RO/RO conveyance is more popular than shipping containers. While air freight is an option, the high costs usually prevent anyone from using it. What, therefore, distinguishes RO/RO shipping from container shipping?
It's easy and inexpensive to ship with RO/RO. The vehicle is permitted only to carry floor mats, a car jack, and a spare tire. Then, it is rolled onto and off of the ship.
Shipping vehicles in containers involves placing them inside massive shipping containers. The remainder of the container space can ferry items cleared by Philippines Customs.
Shipping Requirements
If you have decided to ship a vehicle, contact the Embassy of the Philippines. They will give you the most recent requirements, which are subject to change at any time.
