Cargo Classification

In compliance with Republic Act No. 9337, an act amending the National Internal Revenue Code, a 12% VAT is added to the total amount on all transactions involving purely domestic services only.

Commodities that require special or advance arrangement, packing, handling and in certain cases, documentation. Acceptance of these type of cargo are subject to specific regulations.

• Baggage and special effects that are treated with special care and stored at a special location. Perishables are shipments which are so labelled and are stored under specific temperature. Valuable Cargo are shipments with very high commercial value.
• Restricted Articles or Dangerous Goods like inflammables, explosives, radioactive materials and corrosive substances like acids that may endanger the safe operations of the flight.
• Livestock, Live Animals and Plants are shipment that need special attention and care.

Brachycephalic describes any animal with flat snout and whose lower jaw sticks out disproportionately longer than its upper jaw. Because of these features, brachycephalic or snub-nosed dogs tend to suffer from certain health problems. Breathing normally is commonly a struggle for these dogs. Their shortened and narrow airways result in labored breathing as they continually struggle to cope with lack of oxygen in their bloodstream making them susceptible to secondary heart problems. Because of their inability to regulate their body temperature through panting (as most dogs do), they are more likely to suffer body overheat.

List of brachycephalic dog breeds including its cross breeds:

Since these animals are susceptible to increased risk of heat stroke and breathing problems when exposed to stress or heat, all brachycephalic or mixed-breeds of snub-nosed dogs will not be accepted for transport as cargo on ALL PAL DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.

Note: This restriction does not apply to service and emotional support dogs with the passenger in the cabin. Only dogs excluded in the list will be accepted for air transport.

All articles or materials that are not included in the list of Special Cargo are considered General Cargo or General Commodity.
