Regulations on importing wooden goods from Thailand

[denz2uk]

I need some help. My wife has a business in Thailand that sells wooden furniture, I would like to import this furnature and sell it in the UK but seem to be struggling with finding the relevant regulations, can anyone point me in the right direction.

The wood will need to be certificate and being treated and from sustainable sources. First, ask your supplier/s if they have this and then contact HMRC. They will probbaly point you on to DEFRA....

You do not need an import licence to import furniture from Thailand. For the customs clearance in the UK you would need a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading.

Additionally, if the exporter in Thailand can get a GSP cerificate (Form A) you will be able to import the goods into the UK at a preferential (i.e. lower) rate of duty.

Ask yourself if there is a demand for cheap imported far eastern furniture and look at the ethics and morals of going into such a venture.

What? Of course there is. People will always sit at a teak table whilst in the garden!

And who mentioned cheap?

Ethics and Morals of it are very interesting to think about, Europeans can earn about £300 a month while working in Thailand, as you will see here wages for scuba instructors in Thailand

Thais earn about £80 per month (and thats a very good wage) therefore globalization ensures you can afford to import goods from Thailand

As I know, fumigating certificate needed if wood products from China, it may similar from Thailand.
