Full details

No specific restrictions for personal gold jewellery. Documentation: Bureau of Customs declaration form for goods above duty-free threshold. In the reverse direction (taking gold jewellery out of Philippines): allowed — Personal gold jewellery may be exported from Philippines for personal use; commercial quantities and gold bullion require declaration.

Leaving Philippines with gold jewellery

ALLOWEDPersonal gold jewellery may be exported from Philippines for personal use; commercial quantities and gold bullion require declaration.

Personal-wear gold jewellery is generally free to export from Philippines at reasonable personal-use quantities. High-value personal jewellery (typically above USD 10,000 equivalent) should be declared using the Foreign Currency Declaration Form (BSP). Gold bullion, bars, and coins face different treatment — may require advance export authorisation from the central bank for commercial quantities. Antique jewellery over cultural-property age thresholds may require an export permit.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Personal-wear gold jewellery clears as routine. Bulk imports above the destination's threshold attract duty + VAT; cash-declaration rules may apply on high-value bullion.
