    Ordering products from abroad is not as difficult as you think!

    JUN 27, 2025

    With today's world, access to the internet is easy, and some products abroad are cheaper than buying in Thailand, which adds tax, making them more expensive. In addition, some products are not available in Thailand, so ordering products through foreign websites may be an option that many people choose. However, some people think that ordering products from abroad through websites is more difficult than going to the mall. Some people do not know how to order, do not dare to order, or think that they will have to pay more tax if it is a branded product. Therefore, CPLINTER will explain and provide knowledge that ordering products from abroad is easier than you think if you follow these steps. Because it can be said that it is not only economical in terms of cheap prices, but it is also worth deciding to order products from abroad.

    Ordering products from abroad is easy in just 5 steps as follows:

    Step 1 Select products through the website or send a picture of the desired product. Most popular products among Thais tend to be branded products that originate or are produced abroad, making the price several times cheaper compared to Thailand. In addition, people can easily access the internet. This makes many people choose to order products from abroad through foreign websites instead, for example, Amazon.com, Ebay.com, etc. Or it can be a branded product from any country. Step 2: Order yourself or let us order for youIf you have selected a product through a website and want to order it from abroad by yourself, you can do so by filling in the warehouse address details of the country you want to order from, which we will send you the information about, or if you want us to order for you, you can do that as well. Step 3: Pay for the product + tax At this step, some websites may require a shipping fee, as well as the tax for that product, because whether the product is ordered for personal or commercial use, you cannot avoid paying import tax. The principle for calculating the tax is as follows: (CIF price of goods (product price + shipping costs + insurance) x import tax rate) + 7% VAT + handling fee = Total tax to be paid, the import tax rate of each type of product will not be the same, depending on the category of the product it is in. However, if the product is valued at no more than 1,500 baht, it will be exempt from paying the import tax. Step 4: Send the product to the warehouse and pay for shipping in the country. When ordering products from abroad through a website that the customer orders by himself or lets us order for him, the next step is to just wait for the products to be transported to the warehouse in Thailand. The transport method will be by plane, car or ship that the customer has agreed upon with the shipping company through such carriers as Fed Ex, TNT, UPS and DHL. And when the products arrive at the warehouse in Thailand, the customer must pay the domestic shipping cost or pick up the products at the warehouse by himself. Step 5 of ordering products from abroad wait to receive the products at the destination. This is the final step if the products arrive at the warehouse in Thailand. Once the domestic shipping cost has been paid, the customer can wait to receive the products at their doorstep. Or in the case that some customers want to pick up the products by themselves, they can pick up the products at the warehouse in Thailand.

    In conclusion, ordering products from abroad through a website by yourself in just 5 steps is another way to help you get the products you want that is both convenient and easy. Moreover, some types of products, when compared, even though they pay the same tax, may be cheaper. It can be said that with just 5 easy steps, you can order products from abroad by yourself.
