I have just moved to Bangkok and had some of my personal items sent with FedEx. I was told to include my work permit with my my shipment so as not to be charged the duty taxes when bringing stuff into the country (as this is classified as a "relocation". I'm not sure what happened- however FedEx cleared customs without any knowledge or proof of the work permit, and now are charging me 22,000 thb in duty fees (it should have been a mere fraction of this). Is there any way to rectify this? They are holding it at the FedEx facility at the moment.
