Is it possible to get DHL import tax refund if you send the item back using prepaid shipping label?

Basically i ordered a phone overseas that via DHL and customs said to DHL that this requires an NBTC license, so DHL is unable to clear the item.

I asked NBTC they said can not issue an import license because this variant is not on their database. I asked to send it back NBTC said then I would need an export license.

NBTC said they can issue an export license to send to another country but DHL said no because it's stuck in customs.

I contacted my lawyer friend here and he said after making some calls that it would cost more than the item, 20K THB so not too pursue it.

I also contacted some brokers there only few said that they can clear it but with fees exceeding the price of the item.

What to do?

Thanks to this group for all the great information relating getting our visa squared away. It was easier than I thought it would be.

On a totally separate question, can anyone give their best advIce on how to get a letter delivered from the US to Chiang Mai as fast as possible and ensuring it actually arrives. I’ve scoured the internet and read a vast array of comments regarding UPS, FedEx, DHL etc. Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi! I would like to send some papers (6×a4) from Bangkok to Germany via postal letter. Can someone recommend a service who can manage this? Maybe Thailand Post?
