So some help needed

I have a ride on mower. They don’t have parts in Thailand. Has anyone had experience on getting parts for machines imported to Thailand and what was the import tax if any?

The discussion reveals various insights on import practices, including recommendations to have someone bring the parts from abroad and the complexities involved for individuals outside of business. Users mention different import tax rates, suggesting that while farm machinery parts might attract lower taxes, it could be as high as 100% for other categories.
