Dear B. Ratana,
As per informed, Document (Form D approval) is still not release from customs department until now as we already submit since 18-Dec.
We just got comment from customs officer who responsible on this approval around 3:45pm that one HS Code of Item # 4 in Form D cannot be used for applying form D anymore even though we used to apply it for previous shipment.
Beside this, they suggest us to change to 3304.91.00 instead of 3304.99.90 if we want to import this item under form D for next time.
As per check, we would like to provide you two solutions as below explain:
1. Cancel current form D and re-apply it by changing HS Code for this item
Advantage: - Spend Less amount of duty tax for this item (3304.91.00, Rate: 5%+10%+10% ≈ 652.446 USD)
Disadvantage: - Spend long time (about more than 1 week) for re-process all doc at Thailand and several days for verify in CBO Side)
Shipment is already crossed border since 22-Dec, free storage 3 days. So there might be additional charge on storage shipment at Poi Pet more than 3 days.
Delay delivery date, etc….
2. Still process current Form D with current HS Code (3304.99.90 : 35%+10% +10%) by paying full amount of duty tax (≈ 1528.002 USD) for Item # 4 in form D
Advantage: - We can process clearance by owing original approval once it release by tomorrow. (Extra charge may incur for clearance by owing doc only)
- Spend less time on delivery process
Disadvantage: Pay full tax amount (Different ≈ 875.556 USD)
Kindly check and feedback to us as soon as possible since the customs still hold this doc if there is no any feedback or agreement.
We are really sorry that this case is out of our control due to we can assist to coordinate on processing shipment but we cannot control on customs’ behavior.
We are trying to follow up regarding this case also; however, there is no any pre-alert from customs department related to this HS Code error.
Thanks for your kind understanding; and
Sorry for any inconvenience.
