@jmccarty Mate, it looks like you've done what I need advice on. Sorry to bring up an old post back.

Your order from Amazon US goes above 40,000 THB as per customs. Im assuming you used Amazon global shipping program? Did you ever need to go declare the laptop yourself or did you just wake up to find it at your door step?

Is 40,000 baht a special customs limit? I just bought an item for 20,000 via Amazon UK. It was sold without UK VAT but Amazon added an estimated Thai Customs fee (about the same amount). Delivered by UPS, no problems at all from Thai customs.

Yup!  Thai custom << See this link for the 40,000 Baht "limit". However upon doing additional research (asking people on the internet) Amazon.com (not Amazon UK) seems to just handle all issues just like MrJ2U said.

Here is a link I posted on reddit regarding this and the response there are pretty much unanimous. 

If anyone has actually ordered from Amazon, totalling above 40,000 Baht, Id like to confirm the consensus. I might also just do 2 orders to fly under the radar, as mentioned previously, to avoid the exciting adventure with Thai customs

I think Amazon pre pay all the taxes and duties so you shouldn't have to declare anything.

 

I often get an email from them that they are refunding me some money because the duties weren't as high as anticipated.

 

Does your purchases exceed 40,000 THB? 

Anybody here has first hand experience with ordering from Amazon above 40000 THB in total? Was it a fairly painless process? What pits should I watch out for?

Backstory:

Im looking to build a new PC however the prices here for the parts I want are just way too high/ nowhere to be found. Really entertaining the idea of ordering them all from Amazon as they will be cheaper (even with shipping and tax) compared to buying from InvadeIT, BananaIT, JIB, etc. Planning to look around Zeer Rangsit and Fortune Town IT as well.

My only concern is that Thai custom (Category 3 part 1) would require me to submit and import declaration form since it would be above 40000THB. Not sure how this will go so any first hand experience will be much appreciated

Thank you for your wisdom o great ones
