Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. has secured a spot among the country’s largest importers, ranking seventh on the Bureau of Customs’ Top 10 Importers list for 2025 after paying P13.19 billion in duties and taxes.
The recognition places the automotive firm among the biggest contributors to government revenue from import activities. The Bureau’s annual roster is largely dominated by companies from the oil, petroleum, and automotive sectors, industries that account for a significant share of the country’s import-related tax collections.
For Mitsubishi Motors Philippines, the ranking reflects the scale of its operations and the steady flow of vehicles and components entering the country to support both manufacturing and nationwide distribution.
“Mitsubishi Motors Philippines is honored to be recognized by the Bureau of Customs as one of the Top 10 Importers for 2025 in terms of duties and taxes paid,” the company said in a statement. “This underscores our continued commitment to contributing to government revenues and supporting economic activity in the country.”
The company said its import program is central to sustaining local operations while ensuring that vehicles and parts remain available for customers across the Philippines. Automotive manufacturing and distribution rely heavily on imported components, making import logistics a key link in the industry’s supply chain.
“Being included among the Bureau of Customs’ top contributors highlights our role as a trusted industry partner supporting government revenue generation while maintaining our long-standing presence in the Philippine automotive sector,” the company added.
The ranking underscores Mitsubishi Motors Philippines’ continued role in the local automotive landscape, where import-driven supply chains remain essential to meeting the country’s growing mobility needs.
