Which Philippine ports do freight forwarders use?

The Port of Manila (Manila International Container Terminal and South Harbor) handles most international trade, with Cebu, Batangas, and Subic Bay serving regional and overflow volumes. Air cargo moves through Ninoy Aquino International (MNL).

Can Philippine forwarders handle inter-island cargo?

Yes. Domestic sea freight and RoRo between the islands is a core service, connecting Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Post a freight request with your origin and destination islands for quotes.

How does import clearance work in the Philippines?

Imports are cleared through the Bureau of Customs (BOC) electronic system, with a licensed customs broker managing classification, duties, and any regulatory permits. Most forwarders on CargoLinked provide brokerage with their freight service.
