Imports - Duties And Taxes - How Can I Found Out What Will Be Due

[richardbenson]

Help!

I have extensive experience in fashion and am trying to look into the feasibility of opening a store in Bangkok. However, before I can do this I need to find out what my import liabilities will be to factor into my costings.

Can anyone recommend where I can find out:

1) what import duties would be if I purchase product from an EU country?

2) If there will be any special import duties?

3) how I can find out what the interior tax rate and excise tax rate would be?

4) if there will be any other fees?

Many Thanks for your time and help.

The customs tariff will depend on both the type of clothing and the material it is made of but, unless you are importing products with origins from an ASEAN country, or one that has an agreement with Thailand, the tariffs can be quite high.

A detailed list of duties on textiles can be found here:

Additional taxes can be found here, again it depends on the duty as you can see by the sample calculations
