I was expecting a parcel from DHL. Now DHL send me an email with this and other information:

For register with Thai customs please use document as attached file. Please prepare with copies passport
Location of Thai customs : https://goo.gl/maps/qP9yDyGMXijLDSGB8
 

It seems if the value of the parcel exceeds a certain amount, then the receiver has to register once with Thai customs.

Did anybody here do that already?

Is that an easy process, walking in with the passport and out in 20min and all is done?

Or lots of forms and questions, etc.?

 

DHL also offered me a messenger can pick up my passport and they do that for me. But I am reluctant to give my passport to anybody just like that.

 

Thanks for any info.

duno about DHL but with UPS you could send them just copies of the passport, however you still have to register at your local Customs office.

Thanks!

 

After I asked DHL if I can register myself, they send me forms to fill out, maybe 10 pages and obviously all in Thai. I don't blame them that it's Thai, we are in Thailand.

I decided it will be too much hassle if I try this myself, maybe with a Thai person going with me together to customs. So I asked DHL about the option that they just pick up my passport and do all for me.

Now they will send me the filled out the documents. I have to sign them and then they will pick up the signed documents and my passport, probably tomorrow, and do the work for me. I guess that is the easier option. 

 

I will report here when all is done.
