Before sending a balikbayan box, read this
MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) gave some reminders for consumers, companies and overseas Filipino workers who send balikbayan boxes to the Philippines.
Before you send that balikbayan box, make sure the freight forwarder is accredited with thePhilippine Shippers' Bureau (PSB) to avoid possible problems. (A list of accredited freight forwarders as of end-December 2012 can be found here.)
"Accredited freight forwarders can be trusted because they follow government standards that guarantee their capability to provide reliable service to their clients," Trade Undersecretary Zenaida Maglaya said.
Maglaya said accredited freight forwarders also observe a code of ethics in doing business, as well as insurance coverage in case of accidents and non-delivery.
As of end-March 2013, there are 632 freight forwarding companies accredited with the PSB. This includes 422 Non-Vessel Common Carriers, 590 International Freight Forwarders and 157 Domestic Freight Forwarders.
The PSB has received 153 complaints on non-delivery of balikbayan boxes from around the world in 2012.
