From our facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai we manufacture and export cigarettes, including menthol and flavour variants, for importers, distributors and private label partners connected to the Philippines, built to the market’s tax-stamp and labeling requirements.
Manufactured in Dubai, supplied to Philippines through our Asia export operations.
Serving businesses in Philippines
The Philippines is one of Southeast Asia’s larger cigarette markets, with high consumption across value and mainstream segments and a distinctive, long-standing following for menthol products. Over the past decade its tobacco taxation has been reshaped by sin-tax reform, raising and restructuring excise, so the tax and compliance side of a programme is as important as the product. We manufacture for the businesses supplying this market and can build both regular and menthol lines to suit.
Menthol and flavour character carry real weight here. Our in-house blending and flavour capability, including menthol and crushable-capsule options, lets us develop a profile toward a buyer’s target and hold it consistent, while regular full-flavour and value lines are produced to the same standard.
Whether you are an importer, a distributor, or a brand owner developing a regular, value or menthol line for the Philippines, we shape the format, blend and packaging to fit and prepare the documentation your shipment needs.
How we manufacture for Philippines
Cigarettes for the Philippine market are produced at our Jebel Ali facility with the full process in-house: tobacco blending, flavour application, rod making, filter attachment, packing and cartoning. With menthol and flavour variants central to this market, our blending and flavour capability is a core part of the offer, we can develop menthol, capsule and full-flavour profiles and keep each consistent across runs.
Every run is checked in-line and by batch for draw resistance, weight, ventilation, seam integrity and pack accuracy, so a menthol or regular line holds its intended character across repeat orders, which matters in a market where consumers are loyal to a specific taste.
Cigarette formats for the Philippines market
King Size is the mainstream filtered format in the Philippines, and menthol is usually a variant within a range rather than a separate format. Our range covers King Size (84mm), 100s, Slim, Super Slim and Nano, and both regular and menthol versions can be produced within it. The format, filter, menthol level and blend are matched to the segment you are positioning.
Packaging and compliance for Philippines
The Philippines requires graphic health warnings, English and Filipino labeling and an internal revenue (tax) stamp system. Packaging artwork is developed to carry the required graphic warnings, declarations and language and to accommodate the tax stamp, in hard pack, soft pack or slide box formats. Buyers confirm the current requirements for their consignment, and we build the packaging specification around them.
Logistics and export to Philippines
Manufacturing in Dubai keeps production on an established sea route to the Philippine archipelago. Consignments typically move by sea from Jebel Ali Port toward gateways such as the Port of Manila (MICT) on Luzon and Cebu in the Visayas, depending on the buyer’s distribution base across the islands. We prepare the standard export documentation supporting customs clearance and import and coordinate it with the shipment.
