Charging Correct Import Tax Or Whatever They Want? Also Easier On Thai Name Or On My Name?

[atelko]

Probably found the right import tax rate for the stuff I want to import, but I am not sure if they do charge me more Import Tax than the the tariff code is telling me.

Or do the charge the official import taxes and no higher ones?

what if they do and you tell them it is not the correct percentage and show it to them on their website? do they make problems, cause of not loosing their face or are they saying I might be right and check that again?

And also I would like to know if you have any experience or idea about having something imported on your name or someone who is Thai.

Will a package have to take the same procedure for paying import tax and so on like for sending a package to a Farang?

Do they charge the same fees or are they not so rigorous when you are a Thai/sending it to a Thai, because also for them Farangs have enough money to pay the full fees or even more.

What is your experience?

LOL you will pay whatever extortionate price they set for you off the top of their greedy little heads, they are gangsters, they often charge "tax" equal to the total cost of the actual item. Your only hope is for them not to notice you so ya use a Thai name with Thai printing if you can. Have fun.

Depends very much what it is, but get an experienced clearing agent but be prepared to pay something. If it is perishable, be prepared to pay a lot.

Question :

According the rules do you have to import tax on the money you paid of the items plus the shipping cost. ( according the bill )

Or do you pay tax on the items for the price it would cost to buy them in Thailand.

I have heard total cost, your initial tax from where u bought the product, plus shipping

WHAM pay the scam!

The things that i would like to import are above 20.000 Baht.

Somebody just told me that those items will be held in Bangkok untill tax is paid.

How does this work ? as i live in Phuket.

Can i pay the tax in Phuket and will they ( Thai mail ) deliver it then to Phuket or do i have to go to Bangkok !!

Your best bet is to work through an import broker who can handle all the under table fees, etc. You should be able to get an up-front estimate from them. Doing the entire process yourself will be a nightmare.
