Household items (mostly books)

[mike2011]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right sub forum but let's see.

Right now I am planning to relocate from another ASEAN country to Thailand after having reacher 50 years. I have a whole lot of books and some limited households items (cutlery, pots, bookshelves and a few rattan items I love), no electronics, clothing or the like to ship.

Any idea about the import duty on such items? The load would be less than a container, maybe half (4 tons).

Some hints would be very much appreciated. I have simply no clue how to do this.

THANKS!

Mike

Asean or non Asean makes no difference. The amount you will have to pay in Customs duties unfortunately is going to be up to whatever agent is assigned to your shipment

There is a general guideline available (do a Google search for Royal Thai Customs) to get an idea, but be prepared to pay whatever the agent feels your shipment is worth. And 4 tons is going to attract a lot of interest no matter what the items are
