Note that individuals are still referred to as “importer” by the DOF and the BOC: 1. Upon arrival of the books, the importer will receive a Registry Notice from the post office informing him of the importation. 2. The importer should then proceed to the post office designated in the Registry Notice wherein the assigned BOC Official will asses the value of the importation. 3. After receiving the assessment of the BOC, the importer must proceed to the Department of Finance-Mabuhay Lane to apply for duty-free importation. 4. The DOF-Mabuhay Lane will require the importer to submit the following documents in triplicate copies: a. Letter of Request addressed to the DOF-Mabuhay Lane b. Affidavit saying that the book/s being imported is for personal use and that it is either educational, scientific, cultural materials; c. Packing list; d. Invoice or Assessment of the Bureau of Customs (BOC); and e. Registry Notice. To process the application, the importer is required to pay the corresponding filing fee in accordance with DOF Department Order 54-2000, usually designated in the receipt as “FF”. VALUE OF IMPORTATION FILING FEE Php100,000.00 and below Php 200.00 >From Php 100,000.00 to Php 140,000.00 400.00 >From Php 140,000.00 to Php 700,000.00 600.00 >From Php 700,000.00 to Php 1,000,000.00 800.00 Over Php 1,000,000.00 1,000.00 5.

After getting the appropriate signature, the importer, with all the approved documents, should proceed to the postal office to pay the appropriate BOC and Postal Office fees as follows: Import Processing Fee Customs Documentary Stamp Php 515.00 BIR Stamp Post Office Parcel Fee Php 35.00 TOTAL Php 545.00 8.
