Need to send container

Post by Paul888 »

I need to send a container from Sweden to Hua Hin. It will be furnitures(3 continental beds, 3 headboards, bed tables, one sofa, dining table and 6 chairs) and some personal belongings as well.

I would like to have a tip about how to pay minimum import tax.

Also if anyone can give hint about how much tax I will have to pay ruffly.

That's a shame, otherwise she would have bee able to import with no tax, subject to certain conditions. Your age may affect your eligibility to import without paying tax, are you over 50 and qualifying for the O-A visa?

No, 43, but feeling like 55 :D

But I heard today from a friend that it is possible to pay an amount to an official, about 20k. And then the container will pass thru with out tax. I don't know if it's true or not.
