Estimate for guidance only — not an official BOC assessment or legal/tax advice. Actual duties depend on HS/AHTN classification and BOC valuation. Verify with the Bureau of Customs.
Shein orders and Philippine customs
Shein ships to the Philippines via its own logistics and partner couriers. Packages are assessed by the Bureau of Customs based on the declared value, converted to PHP.
Most Shein clothing items attract a 15% duty rate (representative estimate — actual rate depends on HS classification). On top of duty, 12% VAT is applied to the combined CIF + duty amount.
Single small orders under ₱10,000 CIF value are generally exempt. But if you regularly buy multiple packages, be aware of the CAO 02-2025 same-day consolidation rule.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there import tax on Shein orders in the Philippines?
- If the clothing FOB value is ₱10,000 or below, the order is exempt. Above ₱10,000, apparel carries a representative duty of about 15% on the CIF value, plus 12% VAT on CIF plus duty.
- Will my Shein haul be taxed?
- A large haul can push the goods value above ₱10,000, which makes the whole order taxable. Single small orders usually stay under the threshold and remain exempt.
- What is the duty rate on Shein clothing?
- Apparel is typically about 15%, a representative estimate; the exact rate depends on the item HS/AHTN code. On taxable orders, 12% VAT is added on CIF plus duty.
- Does Shein shipping count toward the ₱10,000 threshold?
- No. Only the goods FOB value is compared to ₱10,000. Shipping and insurance are added afterward to form the CIF value that duty and VAT are computed on.
