Import Tips
• Secure Philippine Coconut Authority export certificate alongside phytosanitary docs for smooth CBP clearance
• Calculate duties based on gross weight including husk; net weight declarations often rejected
• Seasonal peaks (Jan-May) affect pricing; forward contracts prevent tariff + price volatility
