ORIGINAL POSTER
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?

I want to start this question with a statement. I have experienced this group as one tha truly and consistently makes efforts to be helpful with clear responses.

This is an everything else question. I have a friend in Thailand who has a 16 year old son starting a tech program to become a fire fighter. He would greatly benefit from having a lap to and the family cannot afford one. I am in the US and just happen to have a very serviceable spare lap top that would do all he needs. It is even set up with a Thai keyboard. School starts for this young man in May.

Can someone give me counsel about how to best get it from here to there. I have read things about VAT, customs and shipping things with a battery that have me confused and a bit gun shy. I have checked with my Thai friends here and no one is going to Thailand for a while. Otherwise, I would just send it with them and have them mail it to mt friend's son once they arrived.

Any responses will be gratefully received. You could respond here, or even better, you could message me on Facebook. My name is Steven Mussack
