It depends.

Yes, if you are self employed and working in any other country apart from Thailand.

No, if you want to be self employed and work in Thailand.

Moved to the Cryptocurrency Forum.

A common problem is shipments of books. Books are exempt for duty.

Some people send quite a quantity of expensive books, then also include a small gift.

The whole shipment is then categorised at the duty rate of the gift and that's when the problems start.

It would seem that ASEAN NOW don't recognise topics as eco related.

You can choose your own topic title and write your own topic, and it can be as eco as you want.

If there is no suitable forum you can always post in the general forum. I sincerely hope your topics gain traction because we are always looking to create new forums.

One example of a new forum is the electric vehicle EV forum, which took off nicely after it was opened.

Yes, Asean Now is protected by various security measures to ensure site stability.

The exact algorithms used by the software are not made public by the vendor, so we can only guess why you were checked today.

where can we see these member ratings?

They should be displayed on your profile page for everyone to see,  however when the new rank system was trialled the graphics went awry and the overall look was not what we wanted. 

The plan is to wait until we have a theme upgrade then get the ranks display fixed at that point.

What are you on about and where you getting this info. from?

Seems like more conflicting info. to me. Nothing worse than copy and paste merchants who dont even bother to read.

The information I mentioned comes from the Thai customs integrated tariff database. This is the official database that lists every tariff for every product and is based on the Harmonised Sytem.

Here are a couple of screenshots. You can clearly see the ad valorem rate I mentioned and also that the Fine Arts Department is the Licensor for electronic permitting for this category:

This is a specialist area, and the duty rates vary from 60 per cent (ad valorem) to exempt (ASEAN).

Very importantly, anything classified under HS code 97.01 requires an import and an export license from the Fine Arts Department.

HS code 97.01 is for: Paintings, drawings and pastels, executed entirely by hand, other than drawings of heading 49.06 and other than hand-painted or hand-decorated manufactured articles; collages, mosaics and similar decorative plaques.

Prints, lithographs and statuary only require an import/export license if the article is over 100 years old.

Be very aware that if you import an item and declare it for duty at one price, then shortly afterwards you auction the item and achieve a much higher price, then if your item is very high profile you run the risk of having to negotiate your previous tax payment upwards.
