The Steps of Your Customs Clearance in Thailand
We carefully review and submit all required paperwork for your imports into Thailand, including commercial invoices, airway bills or bills of lading, packing lists, and certificates of origin. For goods requiring licenses, such as alcohol, pharmaceuticals, food products, or hazardous materials, we secure the necessary authorizations before submission to ensure full compliance with Thailand regulations.
Accurate classification under the Harmonised System (HS codes) is essential for calculating duties and taxes. Our experts identify the correct HS codes for your products, ensuring that all documentation is precise and that your cargo is correctly assessed by Thailand customs authorities.
Customs duties and VAT are calculated based on your shipment’s classification and CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). With our knowledge of Vietnam’s preferential trade agreements and tariff relief options, we help you optimise costs and reduce duties where legally possible.
Some shipments may undergo inspection to verify compliance with Thailand regulations, such as labeling, health and safety standards, or sanitary requirements. We coordinate directly with customs officers to streamline the inspection process and minimise delays.
All duties and taxes must be settled before your cargo is released. Siam Relocation manages the entire process on your behalf, ensuring payments are accurate, timely, and fully documented.
Once all documentation is validated and payments are completed, your shipment is cleared. We then organise immediate onward transport to your warehouse, distribution centre, or final customer anywhere in Thailand.
Our service doesn’t stop at delivery. We review all customs records to confirm compliance, reducing the risk of penalties and ensuring smoother clearance for your future shipments.

We can't make this up, read why businesses are trusting us with their shipments every day.
I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
