NAIA Philippines

[yan 1]

Hi, I have a questions about going back to the Philippines. The last time I went there was fine but I don't know about the customs now. As what I heard they are going to tax if I'l bring stuffs there? Then I heard about you can only bring one cosmetic and one perfume, is that true?

I wanted to bring my used clothes for my neice and also I want to take some of my makeups. And a few gifts for my family but I'm kinda scared going through customs.

Thank you for reading.

I was there last spring, as usual they didn't look at anything we brought.

Customs was almost non existent in Sep and Nov. I bring gifts and clothes everytime I go there.

Smile at the girl in the kiosk while saying magandang gabi and keep walking. They didn't ask to see anything in my last 3 trips and I had more than used clothing and cosmetics. Don't worry and take what you want.

Yep, Have to agree with everyone else. I went through NAIA 2x this month. After you collect your luggage, just walk through the "Nothing to declare" line.

Chinook takes bunches of everything on your list and we have never had a problem.

Thank you all, that helps me a lot. I have a connecting flights going to Bohol from Manila. Is that true that they will open your luggage and look what's inside there? I know I am being paranoid as what my husband said. But I heard a lot of news about the "tanim bala" putting bullets in your luggage.

We have never had a problem on a domestic flight.

We had no issues last summer, we brought 5 tablets, plus a bunch of other stuff for gifts.. zero issue.

It has happened before.

Us? We locked every single luggage zipper/opening and ones that couldn't be locked were sealed with tape not easily removed. Never leave bags out of sight, purses completely closed or locked. Jackets off and put in closed cellophane bag. Zero problems doing that but we're rightfully "paranoid"

I just returned from the Philippines a couple weeks ago and had no issues with customs whatsoever. I brought a lot of gifts for my wife and her family without any problems. They didn't even ask to look at my bags.
