crazygreg44 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 .. "only 15,4 inch small screen" ? Where have you been looking? They sell notebooks in Thailand in virtually ALL available screen sizes. You can buy a decent notebook at IT-centers all over the country for the same price you pay in Europe, then why risk having to pay import duty tax and the over-hefty postage fee? It will cost you a lot more than buying a good brand notebook in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manarak Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The big shops such as Amazon and a few others usually all observe all the laws to the letter, while smaller shops will ship anything and write "gift" on the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncake Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The reason why they do not is because you need import/export license, new rule/law in Thailand . FedEx will but you will be hit with import/export license fee, taxes, clearance fees and everything else. Best bet is to have it posted regular post.

aarn Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 A German friend of mine in Malaysia needed to upgrade his comp. last year. Figured the best way was to pay a friend in Germany, who was coming to Asia, to buy the comp and bring it on the flight. Advantages: Cheaper in Germany, German keyboard, no import tax.

On other post I read notebook import no problem with normal post but amazon also not want send '! Can someone tell me why in Asia only have small 15,4 small inch screen? Load of crap. Import laptops and other goods containing Lithium batteries all the time. You simply have to state the battery type and how its packaged - certain lithium batteries shipments are prohibited. Laptops/phones/Tablets are certainly not prohibited. Apple Asia ship all their laptops from china via DHL.... PI966 lithium shipments are fine packaged with equipment or in equipment (Cant remember the PI code). The reason why they do not is because you need import/export license, new rule/law in Thailand .FedEx will but you will be hit with import/export license fee, taxes, clearance fees and everything else. Best bet is to have it posted regular post. I have gone through this headache few months ago when I had iPhone 5 posted to Thailand Not correct you do not require import/export licence. You simply pay DHL or FEDEX a clearance fee as they act as your agent. Been that way for 10 years+ Just imported a 100,000THB laptop total paid to Fed Ex under 4000THB including import duty, VAT and clearance fee.

A_Traveller Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 As I understand it this is based on 2013 IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations which came into effect on January 1, 2013. It's not a Thai "thing" but worldwide. It is supposed to make some things easier by stipulating by battery type specific declarations required [or not]. As noted the shippers manage this but in some cases it will add complexity [read cost] to the air shipping process. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you do, as i said already before i had an iphone sent to me from Australia and went through the headache, because fedex in australia did not advise the sender of the regulations and the extra costs.
