DELIVERING TO THAILAND
PACK & SEND prides itself on delivering packages to Thailand quickly and efficiently. Offering a comprehensive range of packing and shipping services, as well as end-to-end tracking, we deliver peace of mind for all your international shipping needs.
If you have family and friends abroad, or you’re starting a business venture, or perhaps you’re moving to Thailand, you’ll have plenty of reasons for getting important cargo on the move. This is where PACK & SEND comes in, handling the entire process for you.
Whatever you need, PACK & SEND offers a competitive range of secure packing and delivery solutions, tailored to your needs.
Before sending goods to Thailand, make sure you understand the nation’s import regulations.
All deliveries to Thailand from the UK require customs documentation. This will be a commercial invoice. Your courier service will be able to provide these documents for you.
These must be completed accurately to avoid delays in shipping or – at worst – your parcel being returned to you or destroyed.
Include as much detail as possible when completing customs documents. For example, don’t simply write ‘clothes’. Instead, specify ‘2 red T-shirts, made in England’. This helps speed up customs checks when your package arrives in the country.
Some packages may be exempt from customs charges – like personal effects and items intended as gifts – provided they meet the Thai import regulations. Parcels valued under THB 1,500 may also be exempt from import charges.
Make sure your package qualifies for the Customs Duty and VAT-free allowance by following the shipping instructions issued by the Thai Customs Department.
Make sure you:
Complete the paperwork correctly and don’t miss out any sections
Don’t send prohibited or restricted items
Include precise details about your items – e.g., instead of just saying ‘clothes’, state ‘2 x men’s cotton shirts, made in Bulgaria’
Don’t send items without the correct licences and certificates
PACK & SEND understands what it takes to meet the import criteria of Thailand, and we work closely with clients to make sure their cargo is fully compliant.
Take time to understand exactly what items can be imported, in what quantities, and which items are prohibited. Always check restricted items and size or quantity allowances before sending, as prohibited items may be destroyed or returned to you at a charge.
For example, most weapons and firearms are also prohibited, while meat, milk, and dairy products are subject to restrictions too.
If you’re not sure whether your items are permitted, contact the Thai Customs Department through its website.
When addressing a letter or parcel to Thailand, put the recipient’s name on the first line, the house number and street name on the second line, the district on the next line, the postcode on the following line, the city on the next line, then the province, followed by THAILAND in capital letters on the last line.
For example: Mr. Kosin Trainikom 491 Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok 4 Road, Prachathipat Amphoe Tanyaburi, Pathumthani 12130 THAILAND
Include your return address on the opposite side of the package to the delivery address.
At PACK & SEND, we excel in delivering your awkward or valuable parcels to Thailand, safely and securely.
Our bespoke packing and shipping service means you can trust that your items will arrive in perfect condition, and we will obtain a signature upon delivery of the package.
