prepackaged food to the philippines
by: Brett

Prepackaged food is not subjected to any regulations by Customs as long as they are in reasonable quantities as in for personal consumption.

As for personal hygiene products, again you need to ensure that you can prove to Customs that they are for personal usage. If you are bringing in shampoo by the suitcase, definitely you will have difficulties explaining to the Philippines Customs officials that it is for personal use.

For more detailed information, please refer to the Bureau of Customs at their website at:
