Lcl Ship One Box From Usa To Bkk Using Amid, Anyone?


Recommended Posts

I have been looking for a combination air-hockey/pool/table tennis game table in Bangkok, finally found one, but the one's available in the US appear to be better. Most of the combo game tables available on amazon are not eligible for intl shipping. A company, AMID, provides LCL(less-than-container load) consolidation and amazon provides free shipping for these large, expensive game tables (appx 150kg, 7ft x 3ft x 1 ft box at a cost of around $700). The freight is only about $300 to BKK port and assuming that Amazon will ship to the OCF (Ocean Carrier Facility) with a Booking Reference Number on the delivery address, then I can think this will work. The integrated tariff database lists the ad valorum duty for

billiard tables/game tables on a per weight basis at 10 baht per kg so the actual duty will only be appx 1500 baht for a 150kg game table. Of course there will be other charges/processing fees and perhaps 7% VAT tacked on , so I expect to have to pay around 10,000 baht to get the table

free and clear.

It comes in one large box(and won't be palletized) and since I haven't done this sort of thing wondered if a 7ft x 3ft x 1ft un-palletized box in

a container is likely to make the trip undamaged.

Can anyone offer me some comments suggestions on this plan of action. Anyone with experience doing this sort of thing?

I found the Ocean Freight Consolidator through the thaivisa website.

Thanks.
