Plan around local peaks in Manila
Weather and season: Typhoon season (June to November) can close airports and ports for short periods. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In the Philippines, Holy Week and the long Christmas season can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
Customs clearance in Manila
Every import and export from Manila needs a customs declaration. Ziem Logistics clears customs in the Philippines in-house. Our own customs team prepares and files every declaration, without sub-agents or outside brokers.
