UPS has notified me i need to show at 120 Years Building and register as an import agent or get an import license just to get a 2 Ib package of 40 personal single use eye drops, 2 boxes of just for men, and 2 UV BLOCKER sets of armsleeves my nephew sent me from my apartment in LA. Please, somebody who’s been though this, send the quickest most stress free method of navigating this. BESIDES Thai Customs, UPS is also trying to get paid extra in this process. I had no idea having a small box of personal provisions was gonna come to this. And if i choose to just not bother with this and walk away from less than $70 us worth of stuff, UPS’ charge is nearly $300 to “destroy” the package. You talk about a Catch-22!!! What does an Import License even cost, never mind there’s MORE steps to follow just to get this small quantity of my own personal hygiene products in hand.

Import Clearance for Household items: we (both hold dtv) want to bring personal items like tv, fridge, steamcooker, silverware, linens, a lamp etc into Thailand coming from Malaysia. Via Landroute/by small Truck.

Has anybody experience for customs clearance in this specific case (ONLY DTV- connected!!)

All stuff is used and personal etc. Please NOOOO general advice, i googled it all and had many calls already with customs. I ask for real life experience from dtv holders only.

to be clear: this is NOT about things you fly in in a suitcase.

Hi Friends, I want to bring a 20’ or 40’ container of my household goods from USA to Thailand. Just stuff I have owned for years and impossible or expensive to replace here. I have heard that if I get a work permit I can import my household stuff without paying tariffs/taxes. I feel that the right agent can get this done smoothly and with little or no tariffs/taxes. Do any of you know who can do it?

Hi guys I have three pallets of house hold goods used coming by sea does any one know of a reliable clearing agent in bangkok I would appreciate any help

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

Has anyone bought PC stuff on Lazada thar came from China? If so we're they charged Vat etc on delivery?

Does any one know if APEC card has any benefits on arrival these days?

Hi.

Anyone knows about import duties and fees, taxes etc into Thailand?

My friend would send me a (1600usd worth) laptop from USA to Thailand, Phuket.

I was enlightened by someone that ill have to pay extre on top of the shipment cost, i already pay for fedex.

Ive been researching for it but confusing numbers all over the place.

Probably somwone here from US would know it better or anybody.

Thanks :)

Re: extending my 30 day visa exempt entry for 30 more days. I entered Thailand without a ticket out, just explained I would ride my bike out. Everyone was fine with that then.

I was told by UPS I’d have my bike two weeks ago, but it is languishing in Bangkok customs. Now I have 9 days left on my visa.

What should I tell the folks at immigration? Should I buy a bus ticket out to show them? What if I just tell them what I just explained here?
