Popular Post worgeordie Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Courier deliveries normally attract duties and VAT,that's one reason I never use them. Brand names...customs is going to love you. regards Worgeordie Edited February 27, 2020 by worgeordie 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Weird Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Yes, you will be charged, as worgeordie confirms. DHL is one of the courier companies that act on behalf of the Customs Dept to collect duty and VAT on delivery of goods from overseas. It will all be detailed on the delivery slip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It would have been cheaper to fly to singapore, buy them there and wear them for a day before you fly back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 In my case it was 30% of the declared value on the customs form , which was declared correctly, now if the declared value had been something totally out of line low..they might have used some other method ?

I bought these shoes with 50% discount. anyways Versace in EU is already cheaper at full price when comparing to BKK. So wondering how they will calculate 30% tax. I would have receipt which will say 50% discount. but Thai custom is pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I believe it is cost/shipping/insurance times the duty rate with 7% VAT added. I avoid like the COVID-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
