Can you ship a used SDLG excavator to Philippines?
Yes, ExcaYard can ship a used SDLG excavator to the Philippines. As a China-based used excavator export specialist, we source, inspect, and ship pre-owned SDLG machines worldwide, including to Southeast Asia. We handle the entire process—from 150-point inspection to export documentation and shipping—so you receive a reliable machine ready for work.
Machine Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every used SDLG excavator we export undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers all major systems: engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical, and structural components. We verify actual working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect any prior repairs or repainting. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you're buying before it leaves China. This transparency is key to avoiding surprises and ensuring the machine meets your project needs.
Export Documents and Certifications
We handle all necessary export certifications for your destination. For the Philippines, we provide a comprehensive set of documents including a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. While the Philippines does not require SONCAP, SABER, PVoC, or GSA for used machinery, we can arrange additional certifications if needed. Our team ensures all paperwork complies with Philippine import regulations, so customs clearance is smooth. We also assist with any pre-shipment inspection certificates required by your bank or authorities.
Payment Terms
We accept T/T (telegraphic transfer) in USD, L/C (letter of credit) through Bank of China, and Wise for smaller transactions. Typically, we require a deposit to initiate the order, with the balance due before shipment. For L/C, we work with your bank to ensure terms are met. All payment details are clearly outlined in the proforma invoice. We recommend discussing payment terms early to align with your cash flow and project timeline.
Shipping Methods and Lead Time
We offer flexible shipping options: RoRo (roll-on/roll-off), container, or flat-rack, depending on machine size and your preference. Default ports of loading are Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. For the Philippines, typical CIF lead time is 28-45 days port-to-port. We can ship FOB or CIF; CIF includes freight and insurance to your destination port. The table below summarizes key shipping factors.
