SINO Logistics Philippines Dedicated Line is a one-stop cross-border logistics channel built for cross-border e-commerce merchants and foreign trade enterprises. It integrates multi-modal transportation, dual customs clearance & tax inclusive service, nationwide delivery and multi-warehouse handover, meeting shipment demands for different transit times, cargo types and delivery scenarios. The standardized and categorized business terms are as follows:
The whole channel adopts DDP dual customs clearance and tax inclusive service. The quotation covers destination customs duties and taxes. Customers do not need to handle destination tax and customs clearance procedures for one-stop receipt of goods.
Important Notice: The quotation excludes remote surcharges, fines, warehousing fees, return fees and destruction fees caused by the consignee. If the consignee refuses payment, such fees will automatically be borne by the shipper (sending company), and the shipper shall not refuse payment for any reason. (1) Delivery Scenarios: Delivery available to e-commerce overseas warehouses, non-e-commerce warehouses, local Philippine corporate addresses and residential addresses. For remote delivery addresses, transit time will be extended by 2‑5 working days on the basis of normal schedule.

Two core channels including air freight and sea freight are available according to clients’ timeline and budget, featuring stable and clearly tiered transit times: (1) Air Freight + Delivery (Air DDP Dual Customs Clearance & Tax Inclusive): Delivery within 3‑5 days

If any single side of cargo exceeds 2 meters or single package weight exceeds 1.5 tons, delivery fees require separate confirmation. For oversize and overweight cargo requiring forklift loading and unloading, fees will be charged based on actual expenses incurred. Overweight Calculation: Actual weight ÷ 500KG = chargeable CBM. Customs Declaration Related: Full container shipments support separate customs declaration. LCL formal declaration: minimum 5CBM, plus RMB100/CBM on freight basis; customs declaration fee RMB600 per shipment. For shipments over 10CBM, quotation upon separate inquiry.
