Sending clothes to the Philippines: need to distinguish between new and used goods

When asking to send clothes to the Philippines, the information "new or used" should be stated immediately. This is not just about packaging but also involves checking importability.

Clearly state the status and purpose of sending

Make a list of clothes by group, quantity, material if known, and condition. Distinguish between new products with original labels, sample products, used personal items or goods collected for sale. Do not label all items as new when the package contains used items.

The Philippines prohibits the commercial importation of used clothing and rags under Republic Act 4653, as mentioned in the agency's implementation document. Therefore, you should not assume that secondhand items can be sent as new clothes. Source: Supreme Court E-Library, text on RA 4653.

For specific personal items situations, it is necessary to check the basis and applicable conditions before sending; The article does not assert a general exception for all small parcels.

Data set should send Gia Phú

• Type of clothing, quantity of each group and condition.
• Purpose: personal use, gift, sample or sale.
• Overall image and label image when available.
• Estimated weight, size or measurements after packaging.
• Recipient address in the Philippines and available documents.

If accessories, shoes or bags are included, write separately. The more accurate the list is to the contents of the box, the less frequently the exchange will need to be asked again.

Prepare packaging after receiving confirmation

Clothing should be kept clean, dry and grouped for easy counting by the recipient. Choose a protective layer suitable for the agreed route and outer packaging. Don't compress too much to deform the item or use packaging that isn't strong enough just to reduce measurements.

If there are many models/sizes, make a list according to the code you use yourself, for example group A, B, C, then put the corresponding label inside. This is a way to organize counting, not a replacement for goods description on documents.

Do not indicate the total number of pieces to ask for freight

Same model as 20, but material and construction may vary in weight and size. Submit actual measurements if available; If not yet packaged, clearly state temporary information. See instructions for weighing and measuring before latching the data.

Saves a list for the recipient to compare

Send the final statement to the recipient in advance, keeping photos of the goods and sealed box photos. When there is a change in quantity before handover, update both the list and the content discussed with the consultant.
