nuvy

Importing Korean skincare into Philippines

What the border charges, where each shop stops charging for shipping, and what the two together mean for the basket you were going to buy anyway.

What Philippines charges

Philippine VAT above ₱10,000.

Below the threshold the border charges nothing at all. nuvy compares your USD basket against it using the dated rate in fx.json — the threshold itself is written in the country's own currency, and the USD figure is nuvy's arithmetic, not a published line.

Above the threshold nuvy will not quote you a number. Over the ₱10,000 exemption the border adds 12% VAT plus a customs duty set by how the parcel is classified — expect a bill, and not one nuvy can size.

Customs rule last checked against the authority itself on 2026-08-25. These change — the US $800 exemption was suspended on 2025-08-29 — so treat an old date as a reason to verify.
