The Philippine relief for personal and household effects is written for people coming to settle — returning residents, overseas Filipino workers, and foreign nationals on spouse or former-Filipino visas. The allowances rise with years spent abroad, and unaccompanied goods must arrive within sixty days of the owner. It needs written approval from the Department of Finance and a notarised affidavit of ownership.
An Indian student flying Hyderabad to Manila is not a returning resident, not an overseas Filipino worker, and a study visa is not a spouse visa — so those allowances are not available. The realistic route is informal entry for personal effects not in commercial quantity, which is a lighter clearance process rather than an exemption: duty and 12% VAT still apply above PHP 10,000. We would rather say that plainly than let you budget for a relief you cannot claim.
Personal effects and household goods not in commercial quantity, arriving in baggage or mail, clear through informal entry — a lighter process that does not need a customs broker. Worn clothing in quantity is worth declaring carefully: a long-standing statute bars commercial imports of used clothing, and a large bag of garments can read as commercial unless it is itemised as personal effects.
Two main carrier lanes, one best route per parcel — chosen by weight and destination. All include door-to-door delivery and full tracking.
Express lane
Premium lane for urgent student baggage — start-of-semester arrivals, relocation deadlines, professional assignment beginnings.
Reliable express
Reliable lane for planned household goods — semester-end baggage, family relocation boxes, returning NRI personal effects.

Rates effective 23 Aug 2026 · INR · excl. GST · Unlike the EU lanes, where relief attaches to the parcel and its value, the Philippine reliefs attach to who is sending. That single difference decides whether a Hyderabad customer has a PHP 10,000 ceiling or a PHP 150,000 one, and it depends on their passport rather than their box.

What Bureau of Customs (BOC) officers actually check. What we attach to every baggage parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.
A Transfer of Residence concession may apply to eligible returning residents, students or relocating professionals. Eligibility, document requirements and duty treatment depend on destination rules and personal circumstances, so confirmation from the receiving authority or a qualified broker may be required.
TR form support is also available for used goods shipped as personal effects — we help you document items correctly so they qualify as used personal belongings rather than commercial imports.
Packing is selected to limit unused volume, separate fragile items and suit the selected carrier's handling and chargeable-weight rules.
Clothes, bedding, winter wear, and soft goods are vacuum-sealed to compress volume by up to 40%. Every cubic centimetre saved reduces your volumetric weight — directly lowering the final shipping cost. Your student can ship more for the same price.
Electronics, kitchenware, and fragile items are wrapped individually in bubble-wrap and packed inside a corrugated reinforced inner box. Every item is photographed before sealing — creating a photographic inventory record for your reference and for any insurance claim.
Export-grade 7-ply corrugated outer carton, double-taped seams, heavy-duty strapping bands, and customs-ready labelling. Built to withstand cargo-hold stacking, conveyor belts, and the full international transit journey to Philippines.
