Customs
Thailand is outside the EU. Shipments up to 1,500 THB (~42 EUR) are exempt from both duty and VAT. Above this value, Thai VAT of 7% and customs duty (0–30% by category) apply. All postal shipments are subject to review by Thai Customs Department — always attach a CN22/CN23 with an accurate value. Thailand strictly controls electronics (possible licensing requirements), medicines, and cosmetics. Marking a shipment as a "gift" does not exempt it from duty if the value exceeds the threshold.
Required documents
- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.
