Customs Card

[rb3]

I asked everyone I know - including fedex and they can not explain what is customs card.

The company i am working with deals a lot with samples in and out of bangkok, usually the invoice amount is 0-zero since these are samples and we are shipping it back and forth (no sales)

Spoke with the broker and they said only need it if we are shipping $13,000 usd worth of goods, I am really confused.

Please help.

Thanks

You need it when you import or export under the companies name. If you get the import under Fedex and no tax, they can deliver. But for sure you need the card to ship out using the company name.
