Industries
We align registration, labeling, tax and cold-chain requirements for food, beverage and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), so products clear and reach the shelf compliant and in date.
Typical Cargo
Common Challenges
Products can be held when labels or registrations do not match the shipment. We check both before you ship, so stock is not stuck while a label is fixed.
Excise and tax rules apply to alcohol and certain other products. We work out the charges in advance, so there are no surprises at clearance.
Chilled and frozen goods need cold storage lined up on arrival. We book it before the cargo lands, so shelf life is spent on the shelf, not at the port.

Common Questions
Requirements depend on the product, its tariff classification and the agencies that regulate it, which can include the FDA, the Bureau of Customs and other food-safety regulators. 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 food, beverage and FMCG products 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 FDA, the Bureau of Customs and other food-safety regulators, depending on the product.
