Why This Matters to Filipino Exporters
For many Filipino entrepreneurs, the United States remains one of the most lucrative markets for exports — from handicrafts and fashion pieces to tech accessories and specialty food products. But recent U.S. trade policy changes have altered the way small shipments enter the country, potentially impacting pricing, operations, and profitability.
To help local businesses navigate these changes with confidence, FedEx, a global leader in express transportation, is hosting a timely and information-packed webinar designed especially for Philippine SMEs.

Title: Understanding the Latest U.S. Tariff Changes and Their Impact on Shipping
Date: August 20, 2025
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Format: Online (Free Registration)
This one-hour session will focus on the removal of the U.S. de minimis exemption — a rule that previously allowed goods worth USD 800 or less to enter the U.S. duty-free. With this exemption now gone, exporters will need to adjust how they handle shipments, manage costs, and stay compliant with U.S. import regulations.
What You’ll Learn in the Session:
- How to adapt your shipping strategy to the new tariff rules.
- Compliance requirements to keep your goods moving smoothly.
- Ways to minimize costs without compromising operations.
- Tips for sustaining and expanding your U.S. market presence.
