Importing Used Excavators to the Philippines via Manila Port

The Philippines is a steady market for used Japanese and Chinese-brand excavators, driven by road, quarry and housing projects. Shipping from Shanghai to Manila is short, but paperwork and machine choice still matter.

1. Check import rules first

Used heavy equipment imports may require permits or clearances depending on current regulations. Confirm the latest requirements with your licensed customs broker before you pay a deposit.

2. Popular sizes

20–22 ton excavators such as Komatsu PC200, CAT 320 and Hitachi ZX200 are the most common, along with mini excavators for urban work. Choose a model with good local parts support.

3. Shipping options

Mini and small excavators often fit in a 40ft flat rack or open-top container. 20-ton machines usually go on flat rack or RoRo. Transit from Shanghai to Manila is typically about a week, plus port handling time.

4. Documents to prepare

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and machine photos showing serial numbers. Ask your broker whether a pre-shipment inspection or cleaning certificate is needed.

5. Clean before shipping

Machines should be washed to remove soil and plant material, which helps avoid delays at the destination port.
