1. Shipping from Japan to the Philippines
There are no weight brackets on this lane. One kilo or eighty, the rate per kilo is the same — so there is nothing to game by splitting a shipment or holding it back.
What is fixed instead is the size of a single piece: 140cm for the three sides together, 30kg actual weight. Whether your goods fit inside that is the first thing to settle here.
2. What is Shipping from Philippines?
Where our work ends and yours begins. Worth settling first.
2.1 What is Shipping from Philippines
We take custody of your goods in Tokyo and move them through packing, the export declaration, air transport and import clearance to the Philippines, handing them over at our Makati warehouse. No stage changes company along the way.
What separates this from an international courier is the warehouse. Because we receive the goods first, we can measure them against the limits before anything flies — and split a shipment that does not fit rather than have it refused.
2.2 Why Demand for Shipping from Philippines Is Growing
Nobody knows whether a parcel is over the limit until it is measured. Receiving it in Tokyo first means that call is made before despatch, not at a counter afterwards — split it if it is over, send it if it is not. And parcels from several shops, combined, carry the international freight once instead of once each.
2.3 When to use it
This is what it suits.
- Sending things bought in Japan to family or friends in the Philippines.
- You cannot predict the weight and would rather not price against brackets.
- Buying Japanese goods on a regular basis for resale.
- Sending battery-powered goods, perfume or anything else carried on conditions.
- Wanting the total the moment the weight is fixed.
One kilo or a full consignment — the rate does not move.
2.4 Who Should Use Shipping?
This lane is used by:
The limits and the conditions change with the goods; the rate per kilo does not.
3. Benefits of International Shipping at Tiximax
What this lane gives you.
3.1 What stops a private shipment
Sending it from Japan yourself usually stops at one of these four.
The piece is over the limit
Above 140cm for the three sides together, or 30kg actual weight, a counter will not take it. Most people find that out by being turned away.
You do not know the unit and box rules
Phones are capped at 10 a week, each in its own box. Used laptops and iPads need their original boxes, one box per device.
Freight charged per parcel
Parcels from several shops, sent separately, each attract their own international freight.
It stops at Philippine customs
No purchase invoice, or no declared value. Those two account for most shipments held after landing.
3.2 Benefits of Shipping from Philippines at Tiximax
No weight brackets
¥1,600 per kg (about ₱650) at one kilo and at eighty. Nothing to arrange around a threshold.
Measured before despatch
Three sides and actual weight, checked against the limits. Over them, we split the shipment rather than have it refused.
Consolidation
Separately arriving parcels become one shipment, so the international freight is charged once. Storage while it is assembled is free.
Packing matched to the goods
Impact and damp protection as standard, with wooden crating or special packing where it is needed.
Export and import clearance handled
We file the Japanese export declaration and the Philippine import declaration, and prepare the paperwork.
Handover at our Makati warehouse
Cargo landing in the Philippines is received at our own warehouse, and onward delivery is arranged from there.
Every stage from arrival to handover is visible at sys.tiximax.net.
