Know the Benefits of Duty Free Philippines

You have now an option to prepare your pasalubong on your planned trip back home through the Duty Free Philippines exclusive privilege for Balikbayans. This exciting benefit is to limit bringing hefty hand bags with sweets, perfumes as well as other personal items for your family and friends.

Duty Free Philippines currently have these types of goods plus the costs are quite similar to the goods you acquire in your host country.

Sometimes, it’s actually a typical practice for some of our kababayans to purchase right after their arrival date because of their very limited time to visit Duty Free Shops.

Balikbayans can purchase within 48 hours upon arrival from a foreign country. Balikbayans and Overseas Filipino Workers’ transactions should be performed within fifteen calendar days from the date of arrival. This shopping benefit is given to thirty calendar days through the time of arrival during Holiday time between the dates of November 15 to January 15.

To help make your visit hassle-free, what you need to accomplish is to provide your passport, plane ticket as well as confirmation that you’re an OFW like Overseas Employment Certificate at the Customer Registration Counter of the DFP outlet.
