Philippines
The shipping threshold and the customs threshold are different numbers, so the cheapest basket is rarely the smallest one. Here is where both lines fall.
Free over $29.00; below that it is $3.99. Delivery takes 3–6 business days, customs holds aside.
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.
