Import tax on mail order German chocolate??

[atyclb]

Hi. Thinking about ordering 22 usd value german chocolate to come via postal service.

 

will this be taxed 90% as food import?

 

Thank you

My experience is that low value items sent by normal post (Royal Mail in my case) and delivered by Thailand Post, do not get assessed for duties/tax.

 

I believe that the limit is under 1,500 Baht value.

 

The link here shows that, strictly speaking, any item of commercial value can be taxed - but it seems that Customs are usually not interested in the low value goods.

Isn't sending chocolates to the tropics by post a bit daft? They'll be crushed and melted.

Must be sent mid December as that is only time of year thai climate in bkk might be ok. 28 degrees celsius is upper limit for Mon cheri.some companies have heat resistant chocolate, not ferrer.
