I'm being asked to send my original passport with FedEx to Thai Customs to clear my freight (our belongings to move here). I've already emailed a clear photo of the ID page and offered to get a certified copy (although not sure how here). They insist on original and will return within 3 days. Is it safe? Anyone done it?

Thank you 🙏🏼 greatly appreciate

Customs tax for personal clothing, and households stuff on DTV?: The old rules state that if you have a work permit or some sort of visa to stay long term in thailand, you can avoid paying customs tax

I'm just shipping one box with used clothing, an air tight / vacuumed wrapped pillow, and some random cables and such

Less than $100 in value at most.

Will they tax me? Because one time I shipped my Debit card to Thailand and they made me pay 30 baht to receive it (why?)

I've got another everything else. I posted similar before, but I want specific input. Need to order some computer components. Two low end machines (no, I do not want to just buy a premade system) so cases, motherboards, etc...

Looking for a place that is reliable and the shipping to Thailand won't be prohibitive.

What’s The Cheapest Way to Ship Personal Belongings to Thailand?

Can anyone recommend a shipping company to send roughly half a container of belongings from Vancouver Canada to Phuket? Anybody use Siam Shipping? It would be so much easier to just come with two suitcases. Also, we plan to come on a 90 day Non O visa then change it to the retirement visa once we get the bank accounts and everything in order. Do we receive a "permit" to bring our things once the retirement visa is approved? Thank you to everyone for the advise. It's been very helpful!

Hey folks, retiring in Thailand from Australia in couple months. Looking for tips on sending 4 packing boxes only to Bangkok. Anyone have suggestions pls.

Cheers

Have you had any experience shipping your personal belongings from usa to Thailand? There's a DHL store close to where I will be living in Thailand, I'm considering shipping clothes, footwear, and golf clubs from USA to Thailand. What do you think?

Shipping report:

One 20' container.

Contents: mostly papers, photos, dishes, family artwork, some used electronics.

Long-term visa but not eligible for duty waiver.

Customs duty charged: THB 9,700

Hi

I'm moving to Thailand end of this year. What's the best way to bring my stuff to Thailand. Not big things and i know i can buy everything in Thailand but have few things i don't want to buy again because not cheaper there. Can i send ad a package? How i can prove those are used items and not something else i want to sell in Thailand. I don't want they charge me with some fees, tax or anything.

Every advice welcome especially who already did this.

Update: Thanks i get all the information i needed 🙏

I'm considering shipping a couple of small/medium boxes to Thailand before I leave the US. I plan on being in Thailand for quite a while and these are some of the last items from my life in the US.

Does anyone know if items shipped from another country can be held by the shipping company until they can be picked up after getting out of quarantine?
