The Cabinet on Tuesday (April 7) approved the Finance Ministry’s draft regulations to waive import duty for materials that can be used to cure, diagnose or prevent the Covid-19 virus, government spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat said.

 

The waiver will come into effect retroactively from March 26 and will be valid until September 30. Initially, the waiver was to go into effect from the date the new regulations were published in the Royal Gazette until September 30.

Well, great. I have a non-contact temp meter from Amazon stuck in customs - from 10th of March. Just my luck. Supposed to go to an office to do some paperwork and catch some corona. No thanks.

No import duty but all other taxes including VAT. 

So one can expect zero import duty for alcohol-based goods like disinfectants, hand sanitisers, beer, whisky, wine, spirits etc. etc.
