blackcab Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The second issue you may have is that if you import a child's toy then Thai customs may require a Thai TIS number to allow the shipment to be released. To get a TIS number you have to submit a representative set of samples to an accredited Thai laboratory for inspection and testing. You have to pay for this, and also for the application and certification. Considering the item involves the use of a naked flame, combustible material, a pressure vessel holding steam at 1.5 bar, unguarded hot metal parts, unguarded moving metal parts, the emission of steam vapour and handling hydrocarbon contaminated water then testing is going to be expensive and may well be destructive. If what you are importing is a model not intended for the use of a child then you will not need a TIS number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could chat with the seller and put "Toy" on invoice instead of "Model". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 How old is the youngin ? The steam thing is pretty cool ... BUT ... this isn't the 18th century. Maybe steer him toward something, electronical he can apply, and build on, such as Arduino, or maybe RC cars, boats, drones. As a 60+ yr old kid, building my own drones was quite fun & interesting. Modifying, swapping out, upgrading components. Actually wished I knew the arduino thingy. He can build off those, maybe the next Musk in the making, or steer him toward computer science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this, no battery driven wheels from what I can see, unlike the OP what a shame to call it a steam roller when it really is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went on a steam train in Australia and since then are crazy about anything with steam reading the above - I guess I will wait until travel to Europe and bring one back. I had something similar as a kid - was a fan toy - also on methylated spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
