We plan to go to Thailand for 3 months. I know from experience that cigars are difficult to obtain in Thailand. That is why I want to bring my own supply (approx. 400 cigars). Does anyone know about import duties? Where and how do you have to pay it and how high are the import duties?

Does anyone have experience with customs when entering Thailand? In principle, you are not allowed to enter more than 20.000 baht, but you will quickly reach this amount if you have a more expensive bag or watch with you, for example.

Thailand wants to fight the economic malaise after beating the Covid-19 virus. The country wants to become more attractive to highly educated expats and wealthy pensioners and lure this group with a 10-year visa and 50% lower import duties on tobacco and alcohol. At least that is the plan and there is never a lack of plans in Thailand.

Next week we fly back to Schiphol. This time I am taking more than the tax-free amount with me, so I choose the red passage 'Make a declaration' at Customs. Then they calculate how much import duty, VAT or excise duty I have to pay. Does anyone know how long that procedure takes so I can take that into account in my pick-up time?

I have been living in Thailand for 12 years and love to cycle. I recently took my 7 year old bare road bike frame (bought in Asia at the time) to Europe for some repairs, then brought it back to Thailand a week later. Customs at Zaventum/Brussels stopped me and asked some questions which I answered neatly and truthfully.

I am preparing my move and visa application to Thailand. I understand that import duties must be paid on household goods (furniture, bed, bookcase, TV/audio system, books, CDs and some small stuff) if you have a Non-Immigrant OA visa and ship it to Thailand. Does anyone have an idea what rates (or amounts) the Thai customs apply for, for example, a volume of 15m3?

The tax authorities have a lot of information available about import duties for an international move. Under certain conditions, those charges are 0,00. Those conditions include the presence of various forms, but also sending within a year after moving. Because I still have a house in the Netherlands (it is for sale, but the sale is not getting along yet) I am considering leaving some of the stuff there until the house is sold.

One of the senders of 'homesickness' items (licorice, cheese, smoked sausage, stroopwafels, chocolate sprinkles, etc.) in the Netherlands has stopped shipping to Thailand because of the (new) import rules. They seem to stop everything and either refuse or levy a (thick) guarantee, in addition to the usual import duties and VAT.
