If it's in the wrong section please move, but does anyone have any idea what the Import Duty for a Solar Battery (LifePo4) would be from China?

If it's coming from China on HS code 8507.60.0000 then expect 10% duty plus 7%VAT on the CIF value plus a "handling fee".

Thx @Crossy

 

And this excludes Shipping as well and as Batteries are Heavy that will be a lot as well!

 

Oke back to search on Lazada it is then ????

The CIF is Cost, Insurance, Freight. You pay duty on everything, then VAT on the total ???? 

 

It's like this globally so not just a Thai "issue", many don't understand where the "excessive" duty and tax comes from.

 

At least when buying from a local seller that's all handled before you see the price.

What then about the import duty on Inverters? Same Same?

The only thing I would add is that according to the Integrated Tariff Database an import permit is required from the Department of Industrial Works.

 

That's probably less of a problem for small items and more of a problem for whole pallets.

I contacted nRuit in China about their 9kWh LFP batteries they quoted me 57k ex factory- I would have to arrange shipping from the factory in China and Thai import duties

A Thai YouTuber I know quoted me ฿68,000 to Bangkok and another ฿1,500 to Surin.
