How much does it cost to ship a parcel from Thailand to the UK?

The cost of shipping a parcel from Thailand to the UK depends on several factors and cannot be fixed at a single standard rate. This is because each shipment varies in size, weight, and type of goods. The main factors used to calculate the shipping cost include:

• The weight and dimensions of the parcel
  
  
• The chosen shipping method (air or sea freight)
  
  
• The type of goods being shipped
  
  
• Additional services such as professional packing or destination customs clearance
  

Shipping fees are based on a comparison between Actual Weight and Volumetric Weight.
The higher value will be used as the chargeable weight.

Actual Weight: The real weight of the parcel.
Volumetric Weight: Calculated from box size using the formula:
Width × Length × Height (cm) ÷ 5,000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)

If the volumetric weight is greater than the actual weight, it will be used for pricing.

How much import tax do you have to pay when shipping to the UK?

When shipping a parcel from Thailand to the UK, in addition to the shipping fee, another important matter that both the sender and receiver should be aware of is UK import taxes and customs duties. These charges are applied based on the value and type of goods to ensure that the import process complies with UK regulations.

In general, import taxes in the United Kingdom consist of the following main charges:

UK Value Added Tax (VAT)

The UK charges VAT at a standard rate of 20%, calculated on the total shipment value, which includes:

• Product value
  
  
• Shipping cost
  
  
• Insurance (if applicable)
  
  
• Import duty (if applicable)

Customs Duty

If the value of the goods exceeds £135, import duty will be applied. The duty rate depends on the product category, such as clothing, electronics, food, or commercial goods.

Minimum Duty Threshold

For goods valued below £135, customs duty is usually not charged. However, VAT may still apply according to UK customs regulations.

Other Taxes and Customs Fees

In some cases, there may be additional charges such as customs clearance fees, handling fees, or destination courier service fees. These are typically paid by the receiver in the UK before the parcel is released.
