Duty On Fans From India

[MattFS218]

Does anyone know what the possible duty might be for bringing 2 $30USD fans in from India? Am I allowed to bring it in? The law reads 10,000 Baht worth of personal items, but I'm also carrying a laptop. What will I likly be charged?

Unlikely. Bring the receipt with you in case you are stopped. But unlikely they will ask for the tax..too much like hard work. They are after bigger fish.

I come though Customs carrying a Laptop, and 20 kgs of other expensive Computer, camera and other personal Electronic equipment. After 24 years and around 100 entries, I have only been stopped twice, and never been asked to pay any duties.

A friend who is in business here, makes perhaps 20 entries per year for 15 years, carrying around 75 kgs of dutiable items for his fashion business. He is perhaps stopped once a year and even then is not asked to pay the duty [admittedly, he is reexporting eventually as finished Garments and entitled to the money back after Export].

When Senior Politicians are smuggling large quantities of Timber and Oil, your 2 x $30 fans are a joke in comparison.

So in your case, no problem T.I.T.
