Generally, if your cargo volume is more than <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>13\/14\/15 CBM<\/strong><\/span> (Cubic Meters), opting for an FCL container is the wisest bet. Besides volume, it promises added safety as your goods remain sealed from origin to destination.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Imagine you're a UK-based furniture retailer sending a bulk order of sofas to Manila.

Gross weight is the actual physical weight of your shipment, while volumetric weight considers the space that your cargo occupies. These values are paramount in the air freight industry.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s dive into the calculations. In Air Cargo, the volumetric weight of your cargo is determined by multiplying its length, width, and height in centimeters and then dividing the result by 6,000. For Express Air Freight services, the divisor used is 5,000. Gross weight, on the other hand, is straightforward and simply depends on the weighing scale reading of your packaged shipment.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s visualize this with an example. Assume you&#8217;re shipping a box with dimensions of 40cm x 30cm x 50cm and it weighs 10kg. The volumetric weight for Air Cargo would be: 40 x 30 x 50 \/ 6,000 = 10 kg (22 lbs), and for Express Air Freight: 40 x 30 x 50 \/ 5,000 = 12 kg (26.46 lbs). While the gross weight remains 10 kg (22 lbs).<\/strong><\/p><br><p>The relevance of these calculations becomes clear when considering freight charges. Freight rates are defined by either the gross weight or the volumetric weight \u2013 whichever is higher. Therefore, understanding these calculations will enable you to predict your shipping costs accurately.<\/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-12058899 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"12058899\" 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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2660\" alt=\"\" \/>\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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2661\" alt=\"\" \/>\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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2676\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\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-084d0ad4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"084d0ad4\" 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-a7f89372 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a7f89372\" 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 UK and Philippines<\/h2><br><p>Unpacking the concept of<a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/door-to-door-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> door to door shipping<\/strong><\/a>, this efficient method refers to the complete journey of goods from the heart of the United Kingdom to the doorsteps of businesses in the Philippines.

It&#8217;s not just about moving the goods from point A to point B. The true origin of the goods, the Harmonized System (HS) Code, the Customs Value, and the Applicable Tariff Rate are key variables you need to be familiar with. <\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s take a step back and start from the beginning. The very first thing you need to do is identify the country where the goods were actually manufactured or produced. This is known as the country of origin and is a fundamental factor in determining the import duties. Brace yourself, we&#8217;re going to dive deeper into these factors and make this complex process a little bit simpler and more understandable.<\/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-fa3a0874 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fa3a0874\" 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-dbb832c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dbb832c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3><br><p>Identifying the <strong>Country of Origin<\/strong> is crucial for five key reasons:<\/p><br><p><strong>1. Determining Duties:<\/strong> Products originating in different countries can carry varied duty rates. For example, a leather jacket manufactured in Italy might attract a different tax than one made in China.<br \/><br><strong>2. Trade Agreements:<\/strong> The UK and the Philippines have specific bilateral trade agreements that influence duty rates. One notable agreement is the Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) under which certain products enjoy lower or even zero duty rates.<br \/><br><strong>3. Authenticity and Standards:<\/strong> Documenting the origin country helps ensure the imported goods meet the Philippines&#8217; health, safety, and quality standards.<br \/><br><strong>4. Compliance:<\/strong> Customs authorities require this information to enforce international trade laws.<br \/><br><strong>5. Anti-Dumping Measures:<\/strong> The Philippines may place additional duties on products, such as steel and footwear, that it deems are sold at an unfairly low price.<\/p><br><p>Take a close look at your goods and ensure they comply with the Philippines&#8217; specific import restrictions. For instance, some used clothing items and electronic equipment face strict restrictions. Plan ahead to avoid unnecessary delays or fines. Remember, knowledge goes a long way in ensuring a smooth customs passage.<\/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-2b79ef9e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2b79ef9e\" 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-c123e429 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c123e429\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 2 &#8211; Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3><br><p>The <strong>Harmonized System (HS) code<\/strong> is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products.

In the Philippines, as a member of ASEAN, these tariff rates are determined according to the ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN). For goods shipped from the UK, you can determine the applied tariffs for your product by using the UK&#8217;s Trade Tariff tool, found on their government website.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s assume your product is a simple wooden chair, classified under HS code 940169 (seats of cane, osier, bamboo or similar materials). Here&#8217;s how to find the applicable tariff:<\/p><br><p>1. Enter 940169 into the search bar of the UK Trade Tariff tool.<br \/><br>2. Select UK as the country of origin.<\/p><br><p><strong>Inspect the duties applied to your product. For our example, let&#8217;s pretend the tool listed a 15% tariff rate. Now, if your total Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value for importing your wooden chairs to the Philippines is $10,000 USD, your import duty would be:<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>$10,000 (CIF) \u00d7 15% (import tariff) = $1,500 USD<\/strong><\/p><br><p>This amount will be part of the costs you&#8217;ll need to cover when importing goods from the UK to the Philippines. Understanding how to calculate these import duties can give you a better idea of the total costs you&#8217;ll incur, keeping you ahead in your financial planning.<\/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-79f262b2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"79f262b2\" 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-383fae1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"383fae1e\" 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>In addition to the standard customs tariff, shipments from the UK to the Philippines may incur other<strong> import duties and taxes<\/strong>. These are determined by product characteristics and country of origin specifics. For instance, you might contend with the excise duty, tapped on certain goods such as alcohol and tobacco.<\/p><br><p>Further, be aware of anti-dumping taxes, imposed if goods are priced substantially lower than the same goods in the home market, to prevent businesses from undercutting on price.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s not forget VAT (Value Added Tax). In the Philippines, VAT is generally set at 12%. So, for a hypothetical shipment valued at $1,000 USD, the VAT might be $120 USD ($1,000 12%). Please remember, these are just examples &#8211; the actual work is much more complex and the costs you encounter may be different.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Always ensure you consult with a freight forwarder or customs specialist to understand the full costs and considerations before shipping. Understanding these extras will help paint a clearer financial picture and make your shipping processes smoother and more cost-efficient.<\/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-e5407669 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e5407669\" 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-6b1b609d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b1b609d\" 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 calculating <strong>customs duties<\/strong> for your goods shipped from the UK to the Philippines, there are a few key variables to consider.<\/p><br><p><strong>Firstly, if you only need to pay customs duties, simply multiply the customs value of goods\u2014say, $3000\u2014by the duty rate, which might be 10%. The customs duty would be $300.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>However, if the VAT is also applied, first calculate the customs duty, then add it to the customs value. This sum is then multiplied by the VAT rate. So, if VAT is 12%, ($3000 + $300)12% would result in $396 as your VAT.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>For goods that are subject to anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty, first calculate the customs duty and VAT as before, but now add the anti-dumping tax &#8211; say, $500. Excise Duty is then calculated based on this cumulative value. If we assume the Excise Duty rate is 15%, the formula becomes ($3000+$300+$396+$500)15%, giving $599.40 as the Excise Duty.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, this can get complicated, but you&#8217;re not alone in this journey.

One important tip: ensure a thorough check on your goods compliance to UKCA, not CE, before shipping to or from the UK.<\/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-92f20574 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"92f20574\" 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-8f9a7074 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f9a7074\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Your EORI number (Economic Operator Registration Identification)<\/h4><br><p>The <strong>EORI Number<\/strong> is pivotal for businesses shipping goods between the UK and Philippines. This unique code assists the UK customs authorities in identifying who is sending or receiving the goods. If you&#8217;re in the importing or exporting game, it&#8217;s an absolute must-have. Registering for an EORI number isn&#8217;t as complex as it sounds, and you&#8217;d do it through your national customs website. Think of it like your business&#8217; passport number\u2014it uniquely identifies you and your shipment, making the journey from the UK to Philippines, or vice versa, smoother. The EU no longer includes the UK, so even if you had previously traded without an EORI number, you&#8217;ll definitely need one now.
