Price list of 3 August 2026, duty and tax included. The price is weight and dimension, quoted per zone: a box is billed on whichever is greater, its actual weight or the space it takes up. Over 30 kg, call the office.
What the price includes
One rate covers customs clearance, transportation, delivery and documentation. That is DDP, delivered duty paid: how it works is on the DDP shipping page. No hidden fees, no surcharges. Nothing extra for an urgent shipment.
There is no discount for anybody. One price for all customers on each zone, whether you send one box or send every week. The rate you are quoted for your first shipment is the same rate a weekly shipper pays.
Insurance is required on every shipment and covers loss. You choose the declared value when you book.
How the parcel moves
For the Philippines Dragon Courier runs its own service, clears customs itself, then the GO21 network does the last leg to the receiver's door anywhere in the islands.
Everything goes by air. Customs clearance is the main selling point of Dragon Courier: the company takes care of everything door to door. Door to door tracking is provided on export day, and you can share the same tracking with the person receiving it. When the delivery is done you receive a file showing proof of delivery.
Dragon Courier intentionally doesn't get signatures on delivery, because a signature is often what delays the delivery. If the recipient is out and the package can't be left somewhere safe, the driver may take it back to the hub for a next day attempt, or leave it at a nearby pick up point.
What we need from you
The contents of the package and the receiver's name, address and contact number. That is the whole list. No other information, and no account is required to start sending.
Describe the contents precisely. Food, medicine and cosmetics fall under the Philippine FDA, fresh food needs prior clearance, and packaged food is allowed for personal use within a weight limit. Name the actual product on the declaration, not "gift", and the parcel keeps moving.
Drop-off is until 17:00, Monday to Saturday, at the Bangkok office in Sukhumvit Soi 4 or the Chiang Mai office on Viangbua Road. If a pickup is easier, give the team the date and the time you want.
Payment is cash or bank transfer, before export. Any invoice you require can be provided.
Live plants to the Philippines
Dragon Courier is the number one exporter of live plants in Thailand. The phytosanitary certificate is arranged for you, along with the export documentation. The Philippines also asks for a plant quarantine clearance on the receiving side, so say it is plants when you book and the team walks you through the paperwork before the box is packed.
Plants ship bare-root with new sphagnum moss, with door to door temperature control, on the fastest flight, all year round. Full details on the plant export service page.
Will my customer in the Philippines have to pay import tax?
No. All duties, costs and tariffs are inside the fee. We clear customs ourselves and your customer pays nothing on arrival.
How long does it take?
It depends on the zone: 2 to 3 working days for Metro Manila, up to 2 to 8 for Mindanao, and 4 to 10 for a remote island.
Is there a minimum or maximum quantity?
No. You can ship as much as you like at any time, from one box to weekly volume. Over 30 kg per box, call the office first.
