Automobile Shipping
There is a misnomer that balikbayans are exempted from paying taxes when they ship their vehicles.
The truth is they need to pay taxes for their vehicles. The tax exemption is only for their household goods and furnitures.
The reason behind this is to protect the local automotive economy from the entry of foreign made automobiles.
However, shipping an automobile is a priviledge limited to balikbayans and diplomats only.

Shipping Furnitures and appliances
Shipping household goods and furnitures, with tax exemption is one of the priviledges of a balikbayan.
A 13G visa is required for former Filipinos and 13A visa for the spouse of a different nationality. It is like getting a green card to the Philippines. Dual Citizenship does not cover that entitlements.
Since the shipment have some tax exemptions, it is advisable to make the most of the shipment. Bring in good quality appliances and furnitures.
Shipping low quality items is not recommended considering the shipping cost. Might as well donate it to Salvation Army or have a yard sale for that.
