Did you know that you can import chocolate without FDA clearance?
Chocolates can be imported into the Philippines without requiring clearance from the Food and Drug Administration, provided that they are for personal consumption and does not exceed 10 kilograms.
However, if importations claimed to be "for personal consumption" exceed the specified limit, and the FDA does not issue a clearance, the items will be seized and forfeited in favor of the government.
For reference, please check the Memorandum on the Importation of FDA-Department of Health Regulated Products for Personal Use at https://customs.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Memorandum-Importation-of-FDA-DOH-Regulated-Products-For-Personal-Use.pdf.
