Are you seeking a cost-efficient but slower 'bus ride' (sea freight)? Or would you prefer an 'express train' that's faster but possibly more expensive (air freight)? Consider the longer sea route via the Suez Canal, versus the direct flight over multiple nations. Each journey has varying costs, timelines, and customs considerations. Your decision should reflect your cargo\u2019s nature, your budget, and delivery needs.

This trade route between Europe&#8217;s financial heart and Southeast Asia&#8217;s trading hub is bustling, no surprises since both the nations are key economic players. The journey spans thousands of nautical miles, with merchandise sailing from ports like London&#8217;s Tilbury to Bangkok&#8217;s Laem Chabang. It&#8217;s the transportation mode of choice for large volumes of goods, given its cost-effectiveness compared to air freight. But, the long shipping times are its worthy adversary.<\/p><br><p>Many businesses, however, hit choppy waters when navigating this path, mostly due to a lack of understanding regarding customs clearance, duties, and documentation. Not unlike trying to solve a Rubik&#8217;s cube blindfolded. It&#8217;s quite like following a complex recipe \u2013 even if you have all the ingredients, you need the right steps and techniques for the perfect outcome. We&#8217;ll break down these best practices and specifications in this guide, turning the daunting into doable.

It commonly includes options for a 20'ft container or a 40'ft container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> Opt for FCL shipping when your cargo volumes exceed 13-15 cubic meters (CBM). This is due to the cost and efficiency advantages it offers for higher-volume shipping. Plus, the added security of a sealed container from origin to destination provides peace of mind.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, a UK-based furniture wholesale company looking to ship a large volume of products to Thailand would greatly benefit from FCL shipping. Given the volume of their merchandise, an FCL container would yield cost benefits while ensuring safe delivery.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> When calculating an FCL shipping quote, keep in mind that FCL shipping tends to be more cost-effective per unit for larger volumes compared to LCL (Less than container load). Despite the initial higher cost for container usage, shipping larger quantities can substantially decrease the cost per unit, driving overall cost savings.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/sea-freight-banner.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2682\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/sea-freight-banner.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/sea-freight-banner-300x99.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong><br>LCL, or <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/shipping\/lcl-shipping-groupage-less-than-container-load-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Less than Container Load<\/a>, refers to a method of shipping that consolidates multiple shipments from different shippers into one container. This means you only pay for the space you need, making it a cost-effective and flexible option for smaller volumes.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong><br>LCL shipping is ideal when you're moving cargo that is less than 13\/14\/15 CBM (Cubic Meters), as you're not obliged to pay for the space you're not using in the container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong><br>Consider a UK-based small furniture manufacturer shipping a few units to a new store in Thailand. With an LCL shipment, the company's merchandise could be packed with other shipments in one container, saving them money and allowing for more logistical flexibility - a crucial advantage for small businesses.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong><br>In terms of cost, an LCL freight charges you based on the volume rather than a fixed container cost, effectively lowering the export expense. However, it\u2019s not always the cheapest option, as other costs like handling and customs clearance may be higher with multiple cargoes. It\u2019s essential to gauge the overall cost considering these factors before choosing LCL shipping.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">Deciding between consolidation or a full container for shipping between the UK and Thailand?

Both are calculated differently in air freight.<\/p><br><p>Air cargo uses a standard calculation, dividing the total cubic centimeters <strong>(length x width x height) by 6,000to get the volumetric weight in kilograms. For example, if your package measures 50x30x20 cm, it is 300,000 cubic cm. Dividing by 6,000, your volumetric weight is 50 kg, or 110.23 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Express Air Freight services, on the other hand, uses a different factor, <strong>dividing by 5,000 instead<\/strong>. <strong>Using the same package dimensions, your volumetric weight is now 60 kg or 132.28 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Your gross weight is simply the weight reading on the scale, say, 45 kg, or 99.21 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Freight charges come into play using both weights. If your gross weight is less than your volumetric weight, freight companies will charge based on the volumetric weight. Essentially, your freight charges are determined by whichever is higher between gross and volumetric weight, ensuring the carrier is compensated for space or weight, whichever is greater.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-40ea24c2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"40ea24c2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2660\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2661\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2676\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad47cbad e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ad47cbad\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-728c2f98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"728c2f98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between UK and Thailand<\/h2><br><p><a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/door-to-door-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Door to Door<\/a> shipping is a comprehensive service that handles your goods from the heart of the UK straight to any location within Thailand.

Why? Let&#8217;s dive into the five core reasons:<\/p><br><p><strong>1) Trade Agreements:<\/strong> The UK and Thailand share multiple trade accords. These agreements directly impact custom duties, reducing or sometimes even eliminating them.<\/p><br><p><strong>2) Import Restrictions:<\/strong> Each country has distinct import limitations. Getting familiar with Thailand&#8217;s specific restrictions for UK goods safeguards against any setbacks.<\/p><br><p><strong>3) Differential Duty Rates:<\/strong> Customs charges can vary according to the country of origin.

It plays a vital role in determining how much tax or duty you&#8217;ll have to pay upon the shipment&#8217;s arrival at its destination. An HS Code involves a 6-10 digit figure, depending on the country, allocated to every item that can be imported or exported, facilitating the process of shipping goods across international borders.<\/p><br><p><strong>The ideal approach to retrieve the HS Code of your product often involves asking your supplier.<\/strong> They&#8217;re typically accustomed to the import regulations and have experience dealing with the product codes.<\/p><br><p>However, if that&#8217;s not feasible, don&#8217;t fret. We&#8217;re here to guide you through an easy step-by-step procedure to locate the HS Code. Let&#8217;s unfold the process:<\/p><br><p>1. To begin with, access this <a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/a> on the United States International Trade Commission&#8217;s website.<br \/><br>2. Your next move is to input the name of the product in the search bar.<br \/><br>3. Once you proceed with the search, browse through the &#8216;Heading\/Subheading&#8217; column to locate your product&#8217;s HS Code.<\/p><br><p>Exercise prudence though. Ensuring accuracy in selecting your HS Code cannot be overemphasized; even a slight deviation might cause delays in your shipment and possible fines for incorrect declaration.<\/p><br><p>Here&#8217;s an infographic showing you how to read an HS Code. Take a moment to grasp the concept and you&#8217;ll find yourself navigating this integral process much more efficiently.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ec6f1b4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ec6f1b4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-72b98f34\" data-id=\"72b98f34\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68144445 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"68144445\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2678\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d6e2b93 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5d6e2b93\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2944669 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c2944669\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 3 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3><br><p>Understanding the customs value of your goods sent from the UK to Thailand can at first seem a bit tricky. It&#8217;s crucial to note that this isn&#8217;t simply the actual product value. Instead, it reflects the CIF value &#8211; that&#8217;s the sum of the cost of the goods, international shipping fees, and insurance costs.<\/p><br><p><strong>Imagine you&#8217;re exporting electronics valued at $1000 (include cost to produce, buy or replace the item), and you&#8217;re paying $200 for shipping and $50 as an insurance safety net. Your customs value isn&#8217;t $1000, but $1250 because it includes everything that it takes to get your goods safely to their destination. <\/strong><\/p><br><p>Knowing how to calculate this accurately will smooth your customs clearance process in Thailand and help bulletproof your shipping budget. Keep in mind, understanding your customs value is key to unanticipated costs down the line.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a53501ad e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a53501ad\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3f5a325 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3f5a325\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>Understanding and identifying the applicable <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/taxation_customs\/dds2\/taric\/taric_consultation.jsp?Lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">import tariff<\/a> is crucial when shipping goods from the UK to Thailand. An import tariff is essentially a tax imposed on goods imported into a country. In Thailand, these tariffs often fall under two categories: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trade.gov\/free-trade-agreement-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Free Trade Agreement (FTA)<\/a> Tariffs and <a href=\"https:\/\/wits.worldbank.org\/wits\/wits\/witshelp\/content\/data_retrieval\/p\/intro\/c2.types_of_tariffs.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Most Favored Nation (MFN) Tariffs.<\/a><\/p><br><p>To determine the applicable tariff rate for your product, you can use the UK&#8217;s Trade Tariff tool. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p><br><p>1. Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/trade-tariff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK Government&#8217;s Trade Tariff Tool<\/a> .<br \/><br>2. Enter the Harmonized System (HS) code identified in Step 4 and the country of origin which is UK in this case.<br \/><br>3. You&#8217;ll then see the duties and taxes applied to your particular product.<\/p><br><p><strong>As an example, let&#8217;s consider you&#8217;re shipping bicycles (HS Code 8712) with a Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) value of $10,000. According to the Trade Tariff Tool, the tariff rate for bicycles is 15%. You&#8217;ll calculate import duties by multiplying the CIF value by the tariff rate:<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>$10,000 (CIF) 15% (Tariff Rate) = $1,500.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>So, you&#8217;ll owe $1,500 in import duties for your bicycles. This step-by-step guide should help you predict costs and navigate your shipping journey efficiently.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2b56b6c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b2b56b6c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a55f51c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a55f51c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>When importing goods from the UK to Thailand, aside from standard tariff rates, there are potentially additional import duties that hinge on your product nature and origin country. These can include excise duty, typically assigned to luxury items like alcohol or cosmetics, and anti-dumping duties, enforced on certain imported goods sold significantly lower than the market value to protect domestic industries.<\/p><br><p><strong>For instance, if you&#8217;re importing cosmetics priced $1000, and the excise duty is 20%, you&#8217;ll need to factor in an extra $200 for this duty. Keep in mind this is an illustrative example, and rates may differ.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Most crucially, you must consider the Value Added Tax (VAT). In Thailand, the current Standard VAT rate is 7% (again, example rate and might not reflect the actual). This applies to the cumulative value of your goods, plus any import duties incurred. Continuing our cosmetics example, if the combined cost and duties amount to $1200, your VAT would be $84.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Understand, comprehend and calculate these duties rightly to prevent surprises and ensure a smooth import process.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba6e61c6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ba6e61c6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a71f846 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a71f846\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>When goods enter Thailand from the UK, you&#8217;ll encounter customs duties determined by a specific formula: customs value (or CIF in shipping lingo, which stands for Cost, Insurance and Freight) multiplied by the duty rate. But wait, there&#8217;s more!<\/p><br><p><strong>Take for example a shipment of designer dresses with a customs value of $1000, assuming a duty rate of 10%. The customs duty would be $100 (100010%). That&#8217;s straightforward when there&#8217;s no additional tax.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Suppose we expand that to include a Value Added Tax (VAT) at 7%. The total amount subject to VAT would be the sum of customs value, insurance, shipping costs, and customs duties. So if we&#8217;re still looking at the dresses, the VAT would be 7% of $1100 ($1000 customs value plus $100 duties) hence, $77.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Now, let&#8217;s get fancy and add anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty to this. Let&#8217;s say a shipment of bikes valued at $2000, with anti-dumping tax at 10% and Excise Duty of 20%. First calculate the customs duty, VAT the same way as before. Then add 10% of the customs value for anti-dumping and 20% of the final value including VAT and customs duties for Excise Duty. Tough calculation, right? That&#8217;s where DocShipper services shine.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Trust DocShipper to handle your customs clearance anywhere in the world, ensuring it&#8217;s done right and you&#8217;re not overcharged.

That way, you&#8217;ll be well-positioned for a speedy customs clearance between the UK and Thailand.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ed0a127 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2ed0a127\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ced107a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ced107a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Certificate of Origin<\/h4><br><p>A <strong>Certificate of Origin (COO)<\/strong> assures Thai customs that your goods were indeed manufactured in the UK. The nitty-gritty lies in this document&#8217;s power to unlock preferential customs duty rates under the UK-Thailand Free Trade Agreement. For instance, a Yorkshire-based furniture manufacturer shipping oak tables would mention &#8216;UK&#8217; as the country of manufacture in their COO. This clear categorization would pave the way for reduced duty rates in Thailand, easing your financial load. So ensure that COO is part of your shipping documents &#8211; it&#8217;s your golden key to smoother, more cost-effective shipping.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-49b46992 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49b46992\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-39e4a350\" data-id=\"39e4a350\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-242b826a elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"242b826a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get Started with DocShipper<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ddb1e07 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ddb1e07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBreeze through customs clearance when shipping between the UK and Thailand, without getting tangled in tedious paperwork and complex procedures.
