Philippines Factory Advantage

China+1 Wire Harness Manufacturing

Philippines production as a China+1 route for US-bound harness programs, with the same workmanship standards as our China facility. Duty outcome depends on your classification and origin review.

Where your harness is made changes what it pays

Legacy Section 301 duties attach to China-origin goods. Assemblies produced in our Philippines facility are not China-origin, so that programme does not apply to them — but since July 24, 2026 most Philippine goods carry a separate 12.5% Section 301 duty, the normal MFN duty for the tariff line still applies, and origin depends on where substantial transformation actually happens.

This is general information, not legal or customs advice. We do not quote a duty rate for your program. Ask your customs broker to confirm HTS classification and origin before you build a landed-cost case on it.

Key Advantages

Why Choose Philippines Manufacturing?

What a second production origin actually changes for a US-bound harness program.

Section 301 Exposure

Legacy Section 301 duties apply to China-origin goods and Philippines-origin assemblies fall outside that programme, but most Philippine goods carry a separate 12.5% Section 301 duty since July 24, 2026; subject to origin review

Dual-Origin Sourcing

Run development in China and qualify production in the Philippines, so one program is not tied to a single country of origin

Same Quality Standards

Built to the same quality system and workmanship standard as our China facility

Strategic Location

Favorable shipping routes to US West Coast and global markets

English-Speaking Team

Seamless communication with our English-fluent Philippines team

Reliable Lead Times

Consistent production scheduling and on-time delivery

*Illustrative only. The legacy China rate varies by tariff line (25% on many lines), and since July 24, 2026 both origins carry a 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor duty on most goods. Actual savings depend on product classification and current tariff rates.

Common Questions

China+1 Manufacturing FAQ

Qualifying Philippine-origin assemblies are outside the legacy China-specific Section 301 duties that can apply to China-origin harnesses, but most Philippine goods have carried a separate 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor duty since July 24, 2026, as have most Chinese goods. The gap depends on your tariff line, current tariff treatment, material content, and logistics, so compute it for your own part.

The quality system and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 workmanship standard are the same in both plants, but the certificates are issued to our China manufacturing entity — the Philippines site is not separately certified. Ask us for the certificate and the scope it covers.

Our Philippines facility handles production orders for wire harnesses and cable assemblies. This includes automotive, industrial, and general-purpose assemblies. Complex prototyping is typically done in China, with production transferred to the Philippines when the program is qualified.

We use our China facility for rapid prototyping and development, with 48-hour capability for standard, ready-to-build designs and exact timing confirmed at quote, then transfer production to the Philippines for US-bound orders.
