Sending a parcel to Thailand???HELP

**Bung** · 15-10-2009, 06:30 AM

It's a used watch, and I will insure it for US $900, would that mean I would have to pay duty on that amount? That could get expensive. I could insure it for less and pay less duty but then I am foked if it goes missing.....

Either way it will be in my mrs' name.

Hopefully it will just get here before I leave..

Why can't you just keep hold of it until you get home?

It's coming in from the USA to NZ where I am working at the moment, was delayed and now may not make it before I head out to Thailand so I will have to get it sent on...I think it may get here just in time but wanted info just in case I need to send it. Any idea of the duty payable on a second hand watch?

If sent by whatever NZ Post's Registered mail option is, you probably wont pay any duty. DHL will sting you for whatever they think they can get away with and you'll probably have a 50.50 chance of paying duty with FedEx.

Use EMS from the post office for small packages - they go thru the Thai postal system with much less hassle then FedEx or DHL
