What are the rules and costs for importing a container of household goods to Thailand?

@Al *******

here is an excerpt of the customs document I spoke of reflecting on the reason for the duty payment, as the original shipment was in my Thai GF name, and the reason why the shipment had to be changed to my name. (For an update, the travel record is released, and you are not eligible to apply for the duty/tax exemption.

On this requirement 4. The shipper must be in that country at least one year. The country being that from which the items are being shipped from i.e. UK

So, we will use only your copy passport for the Customs process and your shipment will be subject to duty/tax which will be around 15,000 – 16,000 THB.

We expect to process the customs clearance at the earliest when the container arrives at Lat Krabang Port. Once we finish the process, will send you the import fees invoice and arrange the delivery schedule to your residence accordingly.)

Hi Al, I did read it in the shipping condition and so we shipped it in my GF name however she hadn’t been in the UK for 12 months or longer, it therefore transferred into my name at customs as both information was provided and had to pay bt, I’ll try find a copy and post it on here.
