Shippping To Thailand

[theCatat]

ok, all the bits about workpermits will be handled, and baring an act of god, the shipment will arrive within 6 months, but i have a couple of questions on the below.

<<DUTIABLE RESTRICTED ITEMS

<<New items (over six months old) require invoices

<<Works of art and antiquities

i assume 'new items over six months' old actually means less than six months old, so i'll ignore the typo and carry on.

1] restricted items. restricted in what way?

2] i'm an artist, so how does this apply to personal paintings?

3] antiquities, how does this work?

<<Especially HIGH DUTIES apply to stereo and video equipment, all appliances, luxury items, carpets, foodstuff, and office equipment

1] does this apply to equipment over six months old?

2] how are the duties set?

<<Only one of each type of electrical appliance is allowed, duplicate appliances will be charged full duties.

1] again, does this apply to older appliances? i have two teles. one old one [6 years+] just to watch videos. will that be charged full duty?

<<Computers, fax machines and phones can cause problems, may not be considered as household/personal effects, but rather as dutiable office equipment.

1] where can i get clarification on this? [[and what household is without a fax machine and two+ computers these days anyway?]]

 

PROHIBITED ITEMS

Gold and silver

1] does this mean gold and silver in bulk?
