Proforma Invoice
A Proforma Invoice is like a receipt for your shipment. It shows important details like the product name, quantity, price per unit, total cost, and any other charges agreed upon with your seller. This document is required for customs clearance in Philippines to calculate the correct taxes and duties you need to pay.

Customs authorities in Philippines use it to check if your shipment qualifies for special rules, like lower tariffs or tax benefits. If your goods qualify for trade agreements, having a Certificate of Origin can even save you money on import costs.
Proof of Payment for Duties and Taxes
A Proof of Payment for Duties and Taxes is a proof of settlement that you (the importer) have paid the required customs duties and taxes for your shipment.
