Import Duty / Taxes

[NE1]

Has anybody had any experience buying leather shoes through online stores or e bay.

I have a sneaking feeling that the duty/tax will be too high.

If I put a Thai name on and get it labeled as a gift would it help ?

Expect the worst and anything else is a bonus.

Value + shipping + 20% import + Vat

Go to Central Chidlom you can get really good shoes in large sizes too for 3000 - 5000 baht.

I have just received a new pair of saddlebags for my motorbike from America, no tax, but a nice bonus.
