  1. Here's the deal. Pay attention. ANYTHING you try to import through either FedEx or DHL is MORE THAN LIKELY going to be a problem. They have an inhouse customs department (contract with Thai Customs), and they scrutinize everything. With enough scrutiny in this country, you can always find a problem. I do not know how they work it, probably on a commission basis, but I have never seen anything shopped into Thailand through DHL or FedEx that did not: (1) have a big tax attached, (2) a fine attached, (3) need a license or (4) simply need to be confiscated on some other grounds. The ONLY exception is items shipped by Amazon -- they have an "arrangement." I just lost a phone I bought on eBay that the seller shipped from Japan by FedEx. Same scam, import license. I was shocked and surprised that the Seller used FedEx, as most eBay sellers in Japan use Japan Post and there are never any problems with that. The Seller told me that Japan Post no longer ships to Thailand and that the only international shippers now available are FedEx and DHL. Nothing more from Japan for me. I will avail myself of the eBay money back guarantee. I then ordered the phone from Amazon. It is in process, but I already know there will be no problems.
