You can request an estimate by sending the basic shipment details: what type of cargo you have, whether it is arriving by sea or air, and the invoice value. If you already have shipping documents, you may send them as well so our team can review the requirements more accurately.

Customs clearance requirements vary depending on the shipment, but common documents include a duly endorsed Bill of Lading or Airway Bill, Commercial Invoice or other proof of value, Packing List, Supplemental Declaration on Valuation, and applicable permits, clearances, certificates of origin, or other supporting documents.

A goods declaration may be lodged by the importer who holds the bill of lading, by a customs broker acting under the authority of the importer or holder of the bill, or by a person duly empowered to act as an agent or attorney-in-fact. RM Manongsong Customs Brokerage helps importers coordinate the authority, shipment details, and supporting documents needed before filing.

In general, a goods declaration should be lodged within 15 days from the date of discharge of the last package from the vessel or aircraft. An extension may be requested on valid grounds before the original period expires. We help clients organize shipment details early so the filing timeline is not left until the last minute.

Not every shipment needs the same permit, clearance, or license, but regulated goods may require additional documents depending on the product type, intended use, and government agency involved.

Yes. First-time or non-regular importers may need to prepare business or identity records together with shipment documents such as the Bill of Lading or Airway Bill, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Entry Declaration, and any applicable import permit. Our team can review the available details and guide you on what may be needed for the next step.

These documents help establish shipment identity, cargo description, quantity, value, and movement details. If the documents are incomplete or inconsistent, the shipment may face questions about classification, valuation, permits, or release instructions. Reviewing them early helps reduce avoidable back-and-forth during customs processing.
