Planning a shipment from the Philippines to Singapore? The right service depends on what you are sending and when it needs to arrive. Your budget and customs requirements will also shape the shipping plan.
With operational support in the Philippines and Singapore, M&P International Freights coordinates every stage of your shipment. Provide our team with your cargo details and preferred delivery date, and we will recommend a suitable service and prepare a quotation.
Air freight is a practical option for time-sensitive shipments that need to reach Singapore quickly. With shorter transit times than sea freight, it is suitable for urgent stock replenishment, production parts, commercial samples and other goods where speed is a priority.
Depending on your shipment requirements, you can choose between consolidated and direct air freight services. We can also arrange collection in the Philippines and delivery in Singapore after customs clearance, giving you a more seamless shipping experience from origin to destination.
Sea freight suits heavier or larger shipments when delivery time is less urgent. It is usually more economical than air freight and can also suit goods that are difficult to transport by air, subject to the available handling arrangements.
For smaller shipments, less-than-container load (LCL) shipping allows your goods to share container space with other consignments. Charges are usually based on the chargeable volume or weight. Full-container load (FCL) shipping gives you exclusive use of a container and may offer better value as your shipment grows.
Transit time depends mainly on the shipping method selected. Sea freight from the Philippines to Singapore generally takes around 5 to 7 days, while air freight usually takes approximately 1 to 3 days.
These estimates exclude collection, export handling, customs clearance and last-mile delivery. The total delivery time can also be affected by:
Shipping costs from the Philippines to Singapore vary with the transport method and shipment size. Collection, customs clearance and final delivery may also affect the total quotation. Estimated rates are:

Under Singapore Customs’ import requirements, goods entering Singapore are generally subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST), while customs duty applies only to dutiable categories, including intoxicating liquors, tobacco products, motor vehicles and petroleum products. Singapore and the Philippines are both parties to the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA), under which eligible originating goods may receive preferential tariff treatment. This does not automatically exempt the shipment from GST.
The exact requirements depend on your cargo and chosen service, but most shipments follow the five steps below. We will guide you through each stage and let you know what is required before the shipment moves.
To receive an accurate quotation, please send us the following:
Accurate information helps us calculate the charges and identify any special handling or documentation requirements before booking.
Once you are happy with the quotation, confirm the transport mode and services you would like us to arrange. Check that the shipper and consignee details match the commercial documents, and let us know about any special delivery requirements before booking.
Pack your goods securely using suitable protection for fragile or sensitive items. You will also need to prepare the commercial invoice, packing list and any other documents required for your cargo and chosen service.
Your cargo will either be collected or delivered to the agreed facility in the Philippines for export processing. It will then be loaded onto the booked flight or vessel.
Schedules can change due to carrier operations, weather, or conditions at the port or airport. We will coordinate the confirmed service and keep you updated at key stages.
Once your shipment arrives in Singapore, it will proceed through customs clearance and any required inspection. After release, we can deliver the cargo to the designated address or storage facility, provided the receiving party is available.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, manufactured goods accounted for the largest share of Philippine exports in 2025, with electronics as the leading commodity group. Cargo shipped to Singapore may include:

Our on-board courier and hand-carry service may suit urgent or high-value goods that qualify for carriage on a commercial flight. A dedicated courier travels with your shipment, reducing transfers and keeping it under closer supervision. This service remains subject to airline and customs requirements.
If your goods reach Singapore before the recipient is ready for them, our warehousing services can provide temporary storage for suitable cargo. We can then arrange onward delivery when the receiving location is ready.
Missing or incorrect documents can delay your goods after they arrive in Singapore. Our customs clearance team can help verify the paperwork, submit permits and identify the information needed to account for duty and GST. Final clearance remains subject to the relevant authorities and the accuracy of the information provided.
If your goods are lost or damaged in transit, the carrier’s liability may not cover their full commercial value. Cargo insurance may cover specified risks, subject to the policy’s limits and exclusions. Contact our team if you need help arranging cover for your shipment.
Sea freight is usually the cheapest shipping method from the Philippines to Singapore for large loads, while air freight may be more cost-effective for smaller shipments. Contact us to request quotations for both options and compare the total door-to-door cost, including LCL minimum charges and air freight’s chargeable weight.
Air freight is generally the fastest standard option because flights take less time than ocean services. For an exceptionally urgent, compact shipment that meets airline and customs requirements, an on-board courier may provide a more direct alternative. Reach out to us with the item details and delivery deadline so we can recommend the fastest suitable service.
Some goods are prohibited from entering Singapore, while controlled goods require approval from the relevant authority. Examples of prohibited imports include:
Other items may be restricted by carriers or Philippine export rules. Dangerous goods may be accepted when the applicable conditions are met.
