    Paperwork required for sending equipment overseas for repair

    in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments

    Posted

    I did shoot off an email to Thai Customs Depts, not really expecting a reply, but they did reply with all the information I needed to know. Kudos & thanks to Ms Saowanee.

     

    Dear Sir/Madam,
     

    With reference to your enquiry, we will clarify you the specific regulation of customs procedure for the product that is sent oversea for repairing and bring it back to Thailand, it is called "Re-Importation".
    The exportation and re-importation procedure must be done according to the Customs Announcement. The import duty of the repaired goods will be calculated from repairingcost. (even it is under warrantee)
    Please remind that the reimported goods must be the same item that sent to be repaired, in case that a seller/sender send you a new item for replacement although it is the same product, you have to normally pay import duty again because it will be regarded as a new item and has a commercial value.
     
    The additional conditions for using this regulation consist of: 
    - The item must be re-imported within 1 year from the date of export.
    - The exporter name and importer name must be the same person/company.
     
    The Re–Importation procedure is as follow:
    1. Export clearance procedure and how to make Export Declaration:(You can study this matter at the Customs Notification No.132/2561 on page No.43)
       1) Exporter must declare with the supporting documents that goods is duty-paid imported goods (importer name must be the same as exporter)
       2) Exporter submits the Export Declaration and request the Re-Importation Certificate. The significant data in the export document must be declared as below;
         - Re-Importation Certificate = Y (equal to the request of Re-Importation Certificate)
         - Export Tariff = 2Part4
         - Privilege Code = 004
         - Tariff Code = HS code of product 8 digits
         - Declaration No = Reference number of the first Import Declaration Entry
         - Declaration Line Number= Item number in the first Import Declaration.
     
    2. How to Re-Import repaired Goods: (You can study this matter at the Customs Notification No.133/2561 on page No.79) When the item has been imported to Thailandagain, importers need to submit the Import Declaration and supporting documents (e.g. copies of Commercial Invoice, Export Declaration and Re-Importation Certificate, Packing list, Air Waybill/Bill of Lading and other related documents) to Customs officersat port of entry to check and approved.
     
    The significant data in the Import document must be declared as below;
         - Re-Importation Certificate = Y
         - Tariff Code and trade statistical code = HS code of product (8 digits) and trade statistical code (3 digits)
         - Import Tariff = 2PART4
         - Privilege Code = 000
         - CIF = Repair Cost
         - Reference Declaration Number = Reference number of Export Declaration
    ***Import duty and VAT must be calculated from repairing cost***
     
    In case exporter did not request for Re-importation certificate as above at time of export but want to request this privilege for importing the repaired goods.
    Importer must make a request in writing to a customs officer at the port of entry to clarified that the imported goods is the same one as those export under the ExportDeclaration  before making an Import Declaration. If permitted the Import Declaration can be done.
     
    The conclusion;
    If followed all the procedures above and the re-importation of repaired goods is not the new item. Then the duty will be calculated only on the repairing cost.
    If not, the imported repaired goods will be taxed as if it is the first time importation.
     
    We hope this clarifies your concerns. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
     
    Best regards,

    More proof, if ever more proof was needed, of the myth of Laos being an impoverished, backward nation with a GDP that ranks 151st on the planet with 22% of the population living below the poverty line.

     

    Then again, maybe her dad has a government job?

    Loads of rich Laos people. They all shop at Central in Udon with funds donated by various governments from around the world.

    Enfield Interceptor

    in Motorcycles in Thailand

    I have one.

     

    Upsides: Better finish on the welding than a Triumph, better gearbox than pretty much everything. They sound glorious and look 'just right'. Easy to service at home. Beautiful paintwork. Uses 'old skool' stuff like tubed tyres and proper light bulbs, so can be fixed anywhere. Engine is sweet, unstressed and well fuelled. Bosch ABS, Brembo India (Bybre) brakes. Double walled exhaust that won't discolour.

     

    Downsides: Some of the brackets/bolt-on bits look a bit 'Harley Davidson' compared to a Triumph. I can't get any accessories easily from the dealer (easy on eBay), and the servicing at the dealer is rubbish (I had a horn hanging off and a missing lock nut from one of the chain adjusters after the 500km inspection/valve check). Its not a speedster - its a great 'country roads' bike that only has 47bhp from its sweet engine. You start to feel the frame rails under the standard saddle after 90 mins or so - order the touring saddle on eBay.

     

    Many people erroneously view the 650s along the same lines as the dodgy previous RE bikes - its as good anything comparable but at half the price.

     

    Everyone who has seen my bike has been impressed and it even gets small crowds of other bikers and non-bikers who want to talk about it and share their own stories of Enfields - I never got that when I had a CB500.

    502 Gateway errors on multiple ISPs

    Is anyone else struggling with t'internet this evening?

     

    Everything is really slow on 3BB, AIS Broadband and AIS Mobile. I'm getting lots of 502 Cludflare errors too.

     

    Has some genius at CAT screwed things up? Stuff like this used to happen regularly, but in the last decade or so its been OK.

    Import Duties on Mailed Goods

    Apparently the super intelligent professional people who work for the Thai Government think a pair of trousers are luxury items. Not that anyone at Udon Thani Post Office can be bothered to phone my wife to tell her to come and get screwed over.

    On FB...I belong to Ford Everest Club Australia ...they really test them there ... Towing those house like things or rock climbing!! I haven't read any complaints about the 10-speed..opinion seems to be positive.

     

    Pity the op couldn't photograph the article and get it transulated on a forum here instead of guess work...

     

    I'll look later to see if any comments on Ford Forums Australia ...need to 'change' my location as Thailand is a banned address with them and I can't do that on my phone ...

    Seems like the usual nonsense posted on ThaiVisa by people who don't have much of a clue about anything. Carry on...
