ryanhull Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hey All, Sorry if this has been covered a million times which no doubt it has, I am going to send my old dear some Thai cream which she wants to the UK, I have been told I should write 'Gift' on the parcel yet I am using the standard thai post boxes you can buy from the post office, Do I just literally write Gift on the box with a marker pen? or do I need to place some kind of sticker on this? does anyone have an image of a parcel with what I should write onit? The value for the parcel is only a fiver and I dont want customs sticking there beaks in! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) When you take it to the Post Office you will be given a GREEN ticket to attach to the parcel. That is a Customs declaration where you state what it is etc and value. I suggest you send by Registered Post "lon tabien" as the Thai say. Not expensive , same as "recorded" service in the UK. If its less than £18 they wont touch it. That is the exempt amount. Edited January 24, 2015 by CharlieH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again It's not always the value why they open something, it depends if anything is spotted on the xray that they want to have a look at.

maibork Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Keep in mind that some items are restricted by Thailand post like liquids and also some creams. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/682199-shipping-liquid-with-thai-post-why-forbidden-only-in-this-country/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
