Sincerely yours,
Important Notice,
Please be informed that since Japan Customs was very strict since January 16, 2018 electronic filing and export declaration inspection of balikbayan boxes takes 2 weeks. We are very sorry for every delay it may cause to reach the balikbayan box/es to your consignee in the Philippines.
Thank you very much for understanding.
The Balikbayan Box service provides Door to Door services for our customers all over Japan to the Philippines.
Once we received your Balikbayan Box, it will be sent to the warehouse in Yokohama for inspection. For the next step, it will be sent to Yokohama customs for export declaration and sent to Manila by ship. Once your Balikbayan Box arrives safely in Manila, it will be checked in domestic customs and delivered to the final destination.
Approximate duration of delivery are below.
※Delivery could be delayed due to the export declaration process or the delayed shipping schedule caused by natural disasters.
※Please be aware that the exact date of delivery to the final destination cannot be guaranteed.
If you want to send your box to Visayas or Mindanao region, this service is perfect.
The original service to Visayas or Mindanao region is delivered from Manila to a nearby port at the final destination by ship, but the Sea & Air provides air service from Manila.
With this service your package will be delivered to the Visayas and Mindanao in 4 weeks, the same time as it usually takes to go to Manila.
