Is DHL ripping me off

Featured Replies

It's not uncommon for international shipments, even small ones like vitamins worth $30, to incur relatively high fees when going through customs in Thailand. The 1,500 baht charge likely includes import duties, VAT (which is 7% in Thailand), and DHL's handling or clearance service fee. These fixed processing fees can sometimes exceed the value of low-cost goods, making it seem disproportionate. While it may feel excessive, it’s generally standard practice rather than a scam. However, it's always a good idea to ask DHL for a detailed breakdown of the charges to ensure everything is legitimate, or hire a company that takes care of that
