Boracay Kalibo Airport Immigration Duty-Free Import Limit
I'm so mad.
I was told I had to pay over 200,000 won in taxes because I had over USD 200 worth of duty-free items. Cash only.ㅡㅡ
I'm so angry.
This is after they reduced it from 568 dollars.ㅡㅡ
I understand that you have to declare and pay taxes on duty-free items you received when re-entering the country if they exceed USD 600.
But
Why should I!
My stuff
I bought it duty-free!
Just because I entered Boracay
Philippines!
I have to pay
another 500,000 won in taxes for this.
They said they charge tax on anything over USD 200 in duty-free items.
What a stupid situation!
My face was red from arguing with them.
They said they didn't know, and if they did, they wouldn't have bought so much makeup, cigarettes, or bags.
They reduced the tax from over 500,000 won to 200 dollars.ㅡㅡ
They didn't even give me a receipt for the tax payment.
Are you guys trying to keep it all? Seriously.
I would have paid the 500,000 won if I hadn't explained it.
Are you trying to steal money? This is a scam!
100%ㅡㅡ
The staff at Incheon Airport told me the same thing when I bought a bag duty-free.
"They're being really strict with duty-free inspections at Boracay Airport these days... It's a waste of money to pay taxes there. Throw away the shopping bag and receipt, and act like it's your own bag."
I should have listened.
What's the point of that gray Balenciaga shopping bag?ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
I brought it, what kind of fortune will I get for bringing that bag, I had no thought.

1 carton of cigarettes
Total USD 200 or less
Be sure to check before buying or just throw everything away at Kalibo Airport like the Incheon Airport staff said.
Or don't buy anything and go in.
It's ridiculous to charge duty on over 200 dollars worth of duty-free items, considering how many Koreans visit here.
Even the Kalibo staff said they don't do it.
Oh, I'm getting mad again........
They wanted the shopping bag so I was looking for a trash can, but they said they wanted it ㅋㅋㅋ They kept it on the bottom ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are you kidding me? Seriously?
I was so excited after landing in Kalibo, I was taking pictures and everything.
They are really scrutinizing everything to charge you tax, they're really focused on the shopping bag.
I recommend not buying duty-free items at all if you don't want to feel bad about paying taxes as soon as you enter the Philippines.
The line is long too..
They really check your duty-free items carefully.
They check everything against the receipt and confirm it.
There's a limit on the amount of Philippine peso you can have, which is 10,000 PHP. It's best to bring US dollars with you and exchange them at Kalibo Airport or D'Mall. The exchange rate is better there~~
I exchanged USD 1 for 51.30 pesos, but when I went to D'Mall, almost all the exchange offices were giving 51.40 pesos for USD 1ㅋㅋㅋ
Double annoyed...... ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Exchange some money at the airport for emergencies, and then look around D'Mall and exchange the rest when you find a good rate.
The weather is so nice when you get out of Kalibo.
The Shangri-La staff even greeted me by name and were so welcoming, I forgot about being angry ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The way to beautiful Boracay
I would have been so upset if I had paid 500,000 won.
I should have researched this.
I recommend buying duty-free items with the tax in mind!
