Pet Travel

Personal Effects means personal belongings which the owner brings with him/her for their own use or in their professions, for example clothes, books (of appropriate quantity) except motor cars, guns, bullets, and provisions. However, for liquor, cigarettes, cigars or tobaccos brought by the passengers themselves, they may be granted duty exemption by the Director-General of Customs, provided that their quantities do not exceed the following: &nbsp;

<ol role="list" start="1">

Household Effects includes other goods than the personal effects, which are brought with the passengers in or out of the country. To be eligible for duty exemption, the importers are required to have owned, possessed, and used the household effects before they return to Thailand to resume residence and the quantity of the household effects is required to be reasonable. Examples of the household effects include televisions, refrigerators, air-conditioners, etc.&nbsp;

In case where the household effects are electrical appliances e.g. radios, televisions, refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, air conditioners, etc., only ONE unit each of such items is eligible for tax and duty free allowance. However, if it is the family change of residence, TWO units each of the items will be allowed to bring in tax and duty free. Any excess unit shall be subject to regular taxes and duties, and Customs will place the items that have the lowest rate of duty under tax and duty exemption. It is important that the used/secondhand household effects must be imported not earlier than one month before or not later than six months after the arrival of the importers. Under exceptional circumstances, Customs may extend the time limits for the importers.&nbsp;
