Local know-how

Shipping to Thailand: what to know

Thai customs declarations are submitted electronically through e-Customs, and imports are subject to duty and VAT. Many products, such as food, cosmetics or electrical goods, also need licences from other Thai agencies. We check these requirements before shipping.

We issue the air waybill and prepare the entry data at origin, so the Ziem network team in Bangkok can file the entry as soon as the cargo lands.
