Can you bring fresh fruit or produce to Philippines?

Short answer
Allowed, must be declared

  • Fresh produce

    allowed, must be declared

    Travelers must file for a Plant Quarantine Clearance (PQC) prior to importation at the National Plant Quarantine Services Division (NPQSD) central office for personal-consumption plant, fruit and vegetable imports — a process explicitly distinct from the commercial import (SPSIC) pathway.

    The specific commodity categories this applies to (NPQSD's Category II/III/IV classification) weren't read in full in this pass — treat the PQC requirement itself as solid, but check NPQSD directly for whether a specific item needs it.

    Also covers: fruit, vegetables, plants, seeds
