Import Tax On Notebooks?

[Steele404]

I want to order an Asus notebook from the states valued at 90k baht shipped via UPS

anyone can shed light on me to what % tax i could expect at the post office?

Is there an official Thai website that states the import duty on such notebooks...?

bump** please... anyone?

Flyer here - whenever I ship FedEx I include a commercial Invoice, samples or repairs, value less than $50.00

That way there is no quibble. They will get VAT off ya.

PS Why not try the locals? Is it a Netbook?

Don't ya think they might have a good idea that a 90k notebook is worth more than $50?

You could end up paying anything from 40% to 140% of the items value. My advice, don't even think about doing it..

Try and get it hand carried in by someone, even if you have to wait. You take your chances otherwise, customs once tried to charge me US$ 600 for a single non-commercial poster (yes, a poster).

for farking sakes.... i was worried the tax was gonna hit 10-20% from the 7% i expect it to be...

but 40-100% is just absolutely ludicrous..... so I;m guessing that the money goes in their pockets?

question: did you guys went to the post directly yourself? would sending a Thai broker to do your biding help lower the rate?

anyways.. thanks for the serious heads up... ! I can imagine how broken and wreck I would be on that very day at the post office

I'm getting in touch with some Thai friends over there

Yes, your notebook is subject to import duties and if it comes by regular mail you might be lucky enough that it just slips through.
