jackdanielsesq Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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. BR>Jack PS Why not try the locals? Is it a Netbook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could end up paying anything from 40% to 140% of the items value. My advice, don't even think about doing it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steele404 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 check it out here: www.customs.go.th 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
