Ebay US already do I believe?Originally Posted by VocalNeal
Import charges:
$28.90 (amount confirmed at checkout)
Is this supposed to affect everyone, regardless of the entry visa? Say you are coming in on a 2 week golf holiday and bringing your golf clubs, and in your possession are smart phone, laptop, camera and other typical items a tourist from a civilized country would travel with. This will be good for tourism.
There was an item on the news last night about this.
A customs department official was interviewed, he said the 10000 baht limit has been cancelled, and that the crackdown is aimed only at those bringing in goods with the intention of selling them on. He mentioned E Bay.
People bringing in personal possessions are not being targetted, but those who bring in multiple items such as handbags, phones, brand name clothing etc. are.
They will try to charge your tax on the value of the item here I reckon. Difficult to hide a TV in your case.Originally Posted by Bettyboo
I'm lost on this. I just ordered an item from the UK. Will I pay duty on it when arriving in Thailand?Originally Posted by taxexile
Ordering online from overseas, if the person posting it puts a value on the outside of it and that is over a certain amount, you pay. If they do not, then usually not. I had some stuff from the US, and all of it had the values on the outside (something to do with their laws) and I have to pay tax on each parcel based upon the value). From the UK, they did not bother with that except for one where it was insured up to 100 quid or something and then I had to pay on the 100 quid, even though the item was worth about 50 quid.
Unfortunately, it means a trip to the post office to collect it.
Most companies that do business like this specifically under value the goods so tax is negligible.
Also. Regular National post attracts the least attention and fees. Big companies like UPS and DHL work hand in hand with customs to fuck you for as much as they can get (after over-charging you in the first place)
This was happening in the UK many years ago...
I can't recall how much worth of 'goods' but I'm pretty sure, it was under 100 pounds!
Will boost the tourist numbers. Act first think later TIT
Maybe, but that's kinda 'smartguy logic' rather than legal logic; not saying you, but the customs. I can fully imagine Thai customs saying that though. Probably easier just to sell the TV or leave it here...Originally Posted by Perota
Fair point, but my receipt is in Korean...Originally Posted by Perota
Maybe I can sell the TV to Dirk?
Cycling should be banned!!!
That seems fair.Originally Posted by taxexile

I only thought about it because I bought a small 24" flatscreen in Oman, put it in my luggage and brought it back, no problems. Thought it'd be nice for my study area to link to the laptop, but the missus gave it to her dad...
I'm quite liking this current 42" TV and just thought it'd be nice to have. Clearly not worth the agro, I'll pop to the local tesco or Powerbuy and see what 42" TV is on special...
40" 16,000 on offer in Tesco.
FIL bought one today, not sure what brand.
^ sounds good, Tax. Mine is a no name brand and the picture is great - I use my Beats Pill speaker with it and jobs a good 'un. 300 pounds for a nice TV is not bad nowadays.
