JoePai Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 A few small items have been sent to me from Australia by DHL. I have received an invoice from DHL for the Customs Duty - no problem. Where my problem does appear is they have charged Customs Duty on the items plus the Freight and Insurance ? Should the Duty only be on the items and not the Freight & Insurance? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 No it is on the total. And gst is on the total plus duty if it applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoePai Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Oh dear - ok many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Good thing they are no shoes in the pack. Then the duty would have been about 80% on the whole package. Warning....mixed packages are charged duty at the percent rate of the highest rated item in the pack for the whole pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 This is why we here at Thai Visa recommend not using private couriers like DHL, FEDEX, or UPS, since they are guaranteed to end up costing you duty because they bulk pay customs to get the container out of the customs warehouse and then customs goes through every invoice to charge individual item fees, which as others have said, include freight and insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Presumably no charges are imposed on documents sent by DHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Presumably no charges are imposed on documents sent by DHL? So long as they are marked as documents on the customs label , anything else will incur duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
