jmansilla Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hello does anyone have any info or experience shipping new and used auto parts into Thailand? I need some suspension and body parts, probably $8,000 in parts to restore and old VW beetle. Also is it any easier to ship small parts, door handles, gauges periodically? Thanks in advance!

WarpSpeed Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Contact these guys http://www.vwshowtime.com/v2/ , they import all the time from the states, and they may also have plenty of parts already and can save you money. Ask for Greg or Tui, they both speak good English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoristheBlade Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I have imported many VW parts from the USA. Import tax a total rip off 30% up..... Baan Volk in Bangkok has a lot of good quality parts, speak to Ton...English excellent. PS Looking for a fuel tank sender for a 68 Beetle...HELP!!

C5VETTE Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 No problem to ship car parts if you are willing to pay tax (as in any country). Try to avoid shipping with couriers like DHL/Fedex/UPS etc as they will rip you off on taxes up to 50% Shipment with normal post is usually lower on the tax in the 10% region plus 7% VAT. Smaller boxes use to go through without tax. Bigger parts can be very expensive on tax. Had to pay 300% tax on a used gastank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The ones in N. America had a heater powered by gasoline from the fuel tank. Here in LOS - doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hmmm. Beetles have a shroud around the exhaust. Air from the shroud is piped into the car. If right-hand drive Beetles were built for UK market but shipped to Thailand they might still have the exhaust shrouds. Aftermarket headers do not have the shrouds.
