Full Details

Posting a watch to Thailand is permitted with no licensing requirement; the compliance risk is valuation. Thai Customs Department assesses charges on the declared value from the CN22/CN23 or courier entry: import VAT/GST at 7% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. De minimis threshold was lowered from THB 1,500 to THB 1 (effectively eliminating it for e-commerce) by Revenue Department announcement — VAT collection now applies to all imported e-commerce goods. For customs duty de minimis, THB 1,500 still applies. Verify current rules with Thai Customs. High-value watches should travel by insured courier with formal customs entry — postal channels cap indemnity far below luxury-watch values, and undervaluation to dodge charges voids insurance and invites seizure.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Use an insured courier service with formal entry for anything valuable, declare the true price, and keep the invoice — undervaluing a shipped watch is the classic seizure-plus-penalty case.
