Step 3 - The Documentation Stage Overview

Since you are exporting your balikbayan box from one country to another, you are required by law to provide documentation on your shipment.

Please see the List of restrictions here.

Also see our Limitation of Liability.

All of our balikbayan box and jumbo box shipments are insured against loss, fire, theft, jettison, FGA for up to $200. Additional insurance is available for $5 for every $100 added insurance value. Manila Forwarder or the insurance company, or our agents are not liable for damages due to improperly packed shipment. There is also no insurance coverage against breakage. Please use diligent efforts in packaging. Use crates and cushion materials for breakable items.

1) Manila Forwarder shipping label (Label).
