Perfume Duty

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Do you have to pay duty on opened bottles of perfume? Me and my wife are moving back to LOS after 2 years in the UK, and my wife has amassed a few bottles of perfume.

Can she take them back to Thailand without paying duty? There are about a dozen bottles.

No specific restriction on perfume as far as I am aware. Just comes within 10000 baht limit for bringing goods into the country. Unless you come across some female expert don't think Customs would know how much they came to.

Forgot to mention, that's 10000 baht each person. You could always where a dab to show half of it is yours.

I wouldn't worry about it. As a practical matter all accompanied, non-commercial personal baggage for farangs is free of duty. Just head right out of the airport through the nothing-to-declare lane. In twenty something years of going in and out of Bangkok hundreds of times, I've seen only a handful of people stopped by customs and every one of those have been prosperous-looking Thais who had all the earmarks of just returning from a shopping expedition to Hong Kong.

Not only farangs, even the locals should be no problem. use the nothing-to-declare lane.

Thanks very much, it was going to cost me a fortune to buy replacement perfume in LOS!
