Shipping and duty for one box

[travelskr]

Hi all,

Looking to ship one box of ceramic plates from Italy to Thailand. Got a good price for the shipping, any ideas on what I'll have to pay in customs/duty when it arrives? We are going to declare the value around 150 Euro or less. Currently on tourist visa, but own a condo in Phuket, hope it's possible and not insanely expensive. Thanks for any info!

How are they coming ? If by regular post then you may not have to pay anything. If by private carrier, DHL, FEDEX, UPS, then it can end up being any amount that they want and you may end up paying "duty" on the cost of shipping, as well as the declared value

Your visa status makes no difference to Thai Customs...they are an equal opportunity screwer

You may as well ask 'How long is a piece of string ? '. Whatever the outcome i hope your ceramics are packed well and have a safe journey.
