Import duty & taxes when importing into Thailand

Overview

Import duty and taxes are due when importing goods into Thailand whether by a private individual or a commercial entity. The valuation method is CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight), which means that the import duty and taxes payable are calculated on the complete shipping value, which includes the cost of the imported goods, the cost of freight, and the cost of insurance. In addition to duty, imports are subject to sales tax (VAT), and in some cases to excise, interior tax and a surcharge.

If it has value it is taxed, customs aren't going to fart around figuring out if it's been used or not. The sender can put a value on it, but there's every possibility they will simply value it as they see fit and don't forget duty is payable on the postage and insurance too.

Couldn't tell you - it's a lottery.

All I know when it comes to 'good gear' they're not mugs.

They will tax based on the value of the goods, irrespective of whether it is new or not, being a "gift" is irrelevant. They will be guided by the value stated by the shipper. If it is a low value item they won't bother, and even higher value items sometimes slip through. I received an old camera yesterday valued at $200 on the shipping and it arrived with no tax to pay. This made me very happy.
