cantona_777 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hello, Does anybody know the import tax and possible overall customs taxes similar to http://www.customs.go.th/Customs-Eng/Sampl...?menuNme=Sample that would apply to importation of cosmetic goods from Europe? As well, is tax applied to purchase price of products or valuation by customs. Any suggestions to get around customs tax such as shipping methods are more than welcomed. Cheers, R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalansanitwong Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Import taxes on perfumes and cosmetics are very steep. Much cheaper Cannot be done by a farang. If you want i can organise it for you let me know the quantity and port of origin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWMcMurray Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Farangs can import cosmetics and perfumes, but will need to have an import permit, just like everyone else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soboringtochooseaname Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi, Do you know what is the process to have cosmetics approved by Thai FDA ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_brownstone Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think it would be a major mistake to start a business in Thailand and expect to "get around" Import Duty in any way. The Customs Department is no longer anywhere near as corrupt as it was a few years ago (partly because they are more technologically advanced now I admit) and they will eventually catch you - they will also check your past activity and if you have not paid the correct Duty on previous Imports you will have to pay the difference PLUS a large fine. I would also never deal with a "Customs Broker" who uses a Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail address! If you want to run a long term, successful business do it right from the start!

I have used these people for over 10 years - very efficient; although all my Imports are via Air so I have no experience of their Seafreight operations. http://www.pioneer.co.th/ Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
