No, dropshipping is not illegal in the Philippines. However, there are some important legal considerations for running a dropshipping business in the Philippines: Business Registration - You still need to properly register your business and get any required licenses/permits even if you don't keep stock. Taxes - As a business owner, you are responsible for paying income tax, value-added tax (VAT) and other applicable taxes. Keep records of transactions. Customs Regulations - Most dropshipped goods will be imported into the Philippines. Ensure your suppliers properly declare items and pay any customs duties/taxes. Consumer Protection - Don't make false claims about products. You're responsible for issues like defective/fake goods, non-delivery, false advertising etc. Data Privacy - Comply with the Data Privacy Act regarding collection and handling of customer data. Get consent. Receipts/Invoices - Issue proper receipts/invoices to customers for their records and any returns/warranty claims. As long as you comply with all applicable laws and regulations, then dropshipping is allowed in the Philippines. Be very careful in vetting your suppliers and provide good customer service/support. Maintain accurate records of sales and taxes. Consult an accountant for advice. The key is full transparency with your customers that you are dropshipping items and taking responsibility for the customer experience. Done properly and ethically, dropshipping can be a profitable ecommerce model in the Philippines.
