📋 What is the TARIC code and how to find it

💡 Shipping TipsComfortable: Thailand is a Buddhist country: items considered disrespectful to Buddhism or the monarchy may be confiscated. Avoid any items that depict the Buddha in a disrespectful manner (e.g. figurines with unusual designs). Respect for the Thai monarchy is the law.

🚫 Avoid general descriptions:

  • “gift”
  • “goods”
  • “personal items”

✅ Use precise descriptions:

  • “Men’s cotton T-shirts – 2 pieces – value €40 – made in Italy”
  • “Leather shoes – 1 pair – value €100 – made in Italy”
  • “Paper documents without commercial value”

🚫 Prohibited or restricted products:

  • Narcotics and drugs (extremely severe penalties, including the death penalty)
  • Weapons, ammunition and explosives
  • Pornographic material
  • Products that are offensive to Buddhism or the Thai monarchy
  • E-cigarettes and e-liquids — banned in Thailand
  • Plants and agricultural products without phytosanitary certification

🍷 Wine and spirits: permitted for personal use in limited quantities. Thailand does not have a prohibition policy, but it imposes high duties on alcoholic drinks.

🍝 Packaged foods: generally allowed for personal use with customs declaration.
