May nabasa na naman akong nahold sa customs items ng albums. Okay, to my co sellers, direct buyers at lahat ng gusto mag import. Lets make this thread:

1. Albums: allowable for air cargo is 6 lang. Yan ung di ka hihingan ng omb permit. Kasi for personal use. Yan maximum.

Some ordered from yes24 and other naman na more than 6 but hindi hinold. You can check the description if ano nilagay ng seller madalas "BOOKS". Case to case din. Dahil Risk Taker madalas tayo. Go for more than 6! HAHAA

2. Food: Yes, hinohold po yan. Air cargo din. Why? You need Food and Drug Approved permit clearance to import those. May limit lang kung ilan qty at kilo pwede.

3. Cosmetics: Okay, relate ako. For makeup. Please see attached FDA/Customs memorandum for allowable qty and kilos lang para di mahold.

4. So lahat naman okay pasok, 6 albums, 1kg pero hinold kasi you need to pay taxes lalo na declared as 10,000 above ung items. (not includes shipping fee) Okie. Informal entry is below 10,000 non taxable un. Smooth lang.

5. Be honest sa amount. Okay? Lalo na pag ang laki ng box, mabigat tapos wala naman sa mga nakalist sa bawal import. Example: 15 kilos tapos declared value is 2,000 pesos. Why? Papasok sya sa MIS DISCLARATION. Dun sya lalo hinohold.

Kung may mali man sa thread, correct me. Eto lamang po ay sariling karanasan. Haha. Sinabi ko air cargo ah. But kasama dito sea. Pag meron nakita customs sa balikbayan box mo. Meron sila right ihold un.
