For diplomatic shipments: Packing list can be done in a standard form.

For non-diplomatic shipments: Packing list NEEDS to be very detailed in terms of content description AND item count.  In case we DO NOT comply with this, port charges and demurrage charges are considerably high as we have to create a NEW packing list for client.

Tax exemption supporting documents list are specific to VISA type which list will be provided upon advise to us of consignee’s VISA type.

It is important  that date of filing of tax exemption and shipment’s Philippine arrival is within 60 days from consignee’s latest Philippine arrival date. Previous tax exemption approved will invalidate future applications.
