The main entry point
Manila International Container Port (MICP) is the primary gateway for Luzon-bound cargo, with ocean transit from Foshan running roughly 5 to 7 days.
What's commonly imported
Desking, seating and storage for BPO and corporate office developments, bedroom and living room sets for residential condo developers, and casegoods and upholstery for hotel and serviced-apartment projects are the categories we see most.
Reaching other islands
Buyers based in Cebu or Davao should confirm onward domestic transfer timing from Manila, since most South China sailings land at MICP first before goods move on by domestic shipping.
Working around developer deadlines
Condo and office developer handover schedules tend to be tight and fixed, which makes it worth building inspection and freight timing around the fit-out deadline rather than the other way around.
