lexxy Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just wondering the regulations on bringing meat into thai. Is it like Australia where company produced stuff is accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I seem to recall that about three years ago Thailand banned all meat from entering the Kingdom unless you had a permit. Something to do with swine fever in Asia. Having said that, I am not sure if that covered tinned products or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddyfield7 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I fly to Switzerland a few times each year and always come back with many kilos of dried meat and Swiss cheese, and never had any problems since 2013. Even if the suitcase containing such items was scanned, the meat was not recognised or rejected; absolutely not to be compared with Australia. The news are going into the other directions: since January 2020, the import of fruit and even seeds into Switzerland (or maybe also EU) is strictly prohibited, whereby there is no fine if you do, the items are simply taken and thrown away - Switzerland's contribution to fight global food waste..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted August 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2022 Meat is a banned import in Thailand for incoming passengers, even meat containing products such as Marmite are not allowed. Those posters who say they brought meat in got away with it. It's a fair bet they did not declare it. There are plenty of imported meats on supermarket shelves; however, I assume there are different regulations applied. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the suitcase containing such items was scanned, the meat was not recognised or rejected The food wasn't rejected simply because your smuggling the items in was successful, that's the only reason. Next time, try declaring them and see what the reaction is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Personally I've never had second though if it was legal or not. Every trip pre-covid I freeze and bring back some type of meat, T-bones, baby-back ribs, pork Carnisda, Korean minrinated sticks never had a problem the times My bags scanned in Thailand not often even opened nothing has ever been said to me so whenever I see something I like I bring it back my last trip return last month, I brought back a rack of Pastrimai and corn beef. I don't think the TM6 even ask certainly now that it is suspended? ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customs Procedure for arriving passengers at the Nothing to Declare or Green Channel Passengers with nothing to declare means they do not have any items liable for duty and taxes and prohibited or restricted goods with them when arriving in Thailand. For this case, they should use the Nothing to Declare lane, and the following items are exempted from duty: Personal belongings in reasonable quantity, which are worth no more than 20,000 baht in total and are not prohibited or restricted goods or food https://www.customs.go.th/list_strc_simple_neted.php?ini_content=individual_160503_03_160905_01&lang=en&left_menu=menu_individual_submenu_01_160421_01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the OP's question, he didn't ask about illegally smuggling restricted items in to the country without declaring them.

You have no idea what you are talking about. A Gippsland grass-fed eye fillet steak is so tender it can be cut with a fork. I suppose you are one of those feedlot acolytes, who think marbled fat induced by a diet of corn is tasty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
