ajnamoon Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi There I was recently checking out a few online sites selling UK food items (dry foods ,tinned foods) However most sited don't mention import taxes or state that you should check this out yourself before placing order Has anyone used any of these companies and if so what would be the percentage of import tax on arrival in Thailand ,is shipping costs liable to tax as well ?? is there a website to calculate import taxes?? Any relevant info appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiejohn Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 What are you looking for that you cannot get from Rimping, Big C or Kasim? Since you are asking about import taxes etc into Thailand why make your post in the CM Forum and not a more appropriate Forum such as "general" or "home country". You will have a wider audience. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any relevant info appreciated Thanks I think you need a special license to import food, drinks, even vitamins. I had some multi-vitamins the by Thai customs fit but having a import license. It was only a couple of bottlesSent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 When I imported the law was that only one importer per particular product was allowed. In theory if you order something that already has an official importer it won't get past customs. In reality, who knows?Sent from my SM-T815Y using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick ZepTepi Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 M&S ready meals & sandwiches, crumbly cheese. And all the low sugar versions of most things you can't get here. Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I know Sausage King often buys UK Food imports from a UK Food importer on eastern seaboard. He gets foods I like but cannot find in Thai Supermarkets or Kasem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The only things I ask my daughter to bring on her yearly visit are, John West canned Kippers,(there were some Princess available in RimPing,but sold out,probably never to be seen again.)HP fruity sauce, Belgian pate,Cheese, and a Kg of dried Pigs blood to make Black Pudding. that was it,some things you yearn for might not be what you remembered, few years ago asked for some Cox's orange pippin,Conference pears,and they tasted nothing like i remember from my youth,memories shattered. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I know SK makes his Black Pud out of blood supplied by CP Foods. His Home made HP style sauce is top notch perhaps a little on the fruity side. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to kick the wife's arse as she's not been out to SK to stock up on black pudding for a while now.Sent from my SM-T815Y using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
