Import Tax On Sports Shoes For Personal Use

[Felt 35]

I don’t know if I’m in the correct Forum for this question, but I would like to ask if there is someone that knows the import tax regulations in Thailand and can tell if the below calculation is the norm.

I jus received a pair of Golf shoes, ordered from USA. (Because the model, size and brand I wanted was not to get here)

I had expected to pay 37% tax on the value of the shoes, the value that is clearly marked on the invoice following the parcel. But instead the tax is calculated included the shipping fee.

Which of course make the taxation greater.

Thanks & Regards

They did the same to me. I imported some very nice dress shoes - $300/pr. They taxed that plus the shipping.

Yes, it is the rule that import duty is calculated on CIF value.
