Industries
Know before you buy: we confirm a vehicle or equipment unit can be imported and what it will really cost once taxes and permits are in, then clear it and deliver it, so no unit is ever stranded at the port.
Typical Cargo
Common Challenges
Used and special-purpose units can fail eligibility rules after you have paid for them. We check admissibility before you buy, so you never commit to a unit you cannot import.
Taxes, clearances and permits add to the landed cost and set the timeline. We price them up front, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Moving oversized or non-running units from port to their final location is a project of its own. We plan the transport before release, so units do not sit accruing port charges.
Who We Help
We confirm admissibility, taxes and permits before you order, so every unit reaches your showroom on schedule and at the cost you quoted.
We clear trucks and buses and plan delivery to your depot, so new vehicles are in service sooner.
We take forklifts, cranes and earthmoving equipment from permit review to site delivery, so machines start earning when they land.
We handle the added approvals for ambulances and other special-purpose vehicles, so your units reach service without regulatory delays.
We confirm each unit can be imported before it ships, so your buyer is never left with a vehicle stranded at the port.

Common Questions
Requirements depend on the product, its tariff classification and the agencies that regulate it, which can include the Bureau of Customs and the other agencies that regulate vehicle imports. The Mills reviews the product and transaction first, maps the permits and clearances that apply, then prepares the documents and coordinates entry before the cargo ships.
Yes. The Mills is a Philippine customs broker that prepares and files the entry, coordinates examination and release, and keeps the documents consistent so vehicles, heavy equipment and special-purpose vehicles shipments are cleared with fewer surprises at the port.
Before the cargo ships. Classification, permits and document mismatches are far cheaper to fix at the planning stage than after arrival, when storage and demurrage charges can already be running.
The Mills coordinates the permits and clearances that apply to your cargo, including those handled by the Bureau of Customs and the other agencies that regulate vehicle imports, depending on the product. Final requirements follow the current rules of each agency, so we confirm them against your actual shipment.
