Customs Duties on Imported Used Household Goods

[BangkokBaksida]

First of all, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question.  If it's not, please move it to the appropriate one.

 

I moved to Thailand recently from Vietnam, but I was unable to carry all of my personal possessions with me on the plane.  So I left a lot of my stuff with a friend in Vietnam who will ship it to me.  It's all used personal household things, such as books, clothes, sheets, and a few kitchen appliances (yogurt maker, black garlic fermenter, etc.)  First of all, what is the best way to declare my things?  As used household goods, as they are?  Or as something else?  And secondly, how will they be taxed, if at all?  Obviously, if the tax would exceed the value of the goods, I would prefer to just abandon them to my friend in Vietnam.

 

Does anybody have experience shipping personal household goods to Thailand (from Vietnam, if that makes a difference - and I am on a non-O visa, if that makes a difference.).  If so, what were the import duties?

 

Thanks and regards.

This is in general topics.

Here is one thread with info.

From Vietnam will be more specific.
