How Do You Import Furniture From Thailand?
Thai craftsmen and factories produce attractive, creative and relatively inexpensive furniture of all types. Many commercial importers source from Thailand, and many travelers who visit Thailand bring furniture items home with them. The U.S. does not charge duties on furniture unless it is bedding (such as pillows, blankets or mattresses), but even then duties range from only 3 to 12.8 percent of the estimated value. Thailand does not have any special trade status, and products originating from Thailand are subject to general tariff rates. Record for your records the amount that you paid for all furniture items that you are carrying in your luggage. Declare the total amount that you paid for any items—including furniture—that you bought in Thailand and that are in your luggage. When you enter the U.S., you will be given a customs form that asks you to list the items you bought and their estimated value. Pay any duties. If you are returning from Thailand, you are allowed up to $800
