Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to ship from China to Thailand?
Rates from China to Thailand move with weight, mode and commodity. On the tax side, the rule is: Import duty and local tax apply; rates vary by commodity. Send weight and dimensions and we'll come back inside 24 hours with a full rate plus optional managed clearance.
What import duty and tax will I pay bringing goods into Thailand?
Entries into Thailand are assessed by the national customs authority, and the regime that applies is: Import duty and local tax apply; rates vary by commodity. On de-minimis, the position is varies by country. RateHive offers managed clearance and tax processing — a coordination service, not Incoterms DDP — to handle these formalities for you.
What currency are Thailand rates quoted and settled in?
We quote and invoice freight in USD; the destination-side currency in Thailand is USD. Payment usually falls due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and with managed clearance you settle the landed cost once rather than facing collect charges on arrival.
How is chargeable weight worked out for Thailand?
We take the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air), rounded up to the next kilo. For 300 KG this bites hardest on light-but-bulky cargo — re-packing or consolidating cartons can pull you into a cheaper band.
How does RateHive's managed clearance into Thailand work?
Managed clearance into Thailand is a coordination service — it isn't Incoterms DDP. We file the customs entry and arrange the duty/tax owed to the national customs authority (the de-minimis position being varies by country) so you don't have to broker it yourself.
Is my shipment to Thailand trackable?
Yes. Air moves on an air waybill (AWB) that's live within 24 hours of departure; ocean tracks by bill of lading through the carrier portal. We flag the milestones that matter — departure, gateway arrival, clearance by the national customs authority, and final delivery.
How long is transit from China to Thailand?
Reckon on these door-to-door windows into Thailand: air 5–10 business days, ocean LCL 30–50 days, ocean FCL 28–45 days. Add roughly 4–10 days for clearance and dwell at the gateway, which RateHive can manage end to end.
When does demand peak on the China-to-Thailand lane?
Space into Thailand gets tight around Sep–Nov, layered on top of the China-side crunch at Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking a week or two ahead in those windows locks in both capacity and price.
