Temu Philippines
Will I Pay Import Tax on My Temu Order?
Temu ships directly from China. Low-value orders often qualify for the ₱10,000 de minimis exemption — but if you order in bulk or high-value items, customs duty and VAT may apply. Calculate your estimate below.
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.
How Temu orders are taxed in the Philippines
Temu is a Chinese marketplace that ships packages internationally via couriers like SPX, Ninja Van, or J&T. Since packages originate outside the Philippines, they are subject to Bureau of Customs (BOC) assessment upon arrival.
Under CAO No. 02-2025, shipments with a total dutiable value (FOB/FCA) at or below ₱10,000 are exempt from customs duty and VAT. Most small Temu orders fall under this threshold.
However, if you order multiple packages to the same address arriving on the same day, the BOC may consolidate them and assess the combined value — potentially pushing you above ₱10,000.
For orders above ₱10,000 CIF value, expect customs duty (typically 10–15% depending on product type) plus 12% VAT on the combined CIF + duty amount.
