How do I pay tax for a personal shipment received in Thailand?
Not visa related-
I asked my family in Singapore to ship 1box of covid test for personal use to Thailand for me.
Yesterday I was told by custom that I will receive a notification letter to pay tax.
Till now there is no notification letter given to me. Anyone happen to be in the same situation before?
Do I have to go to the Thailand post and make the payment or go to custom make the tax payment ???

received notice. No amount mentionedMonti ********
It will be at your local delivery post office in the customs impound area. They will have the paperwork for you to pay at the post office. Your mail carrier should bring you a notice today with your mail. If they didn't just go the post office.

Whenver I had that the package was at my local post office locked up in customs impound and I paid the custom's fees at the post office.Monti ********

Since it is a medical product they might have blocked the import. Only thing you can do is go to the post office to inquire about it. Canice ******
