Smile Air Freight Bangkok to Kathmandu

So I've just been looking at air freight from Bangkok to Kathmandu (and I know a few others are doing the same so I'll save you the hassle hopefully) and I have received the following quotes:

Kittima
TransAir Cargo
02-650 9030 ext: 312
kittima@transaircargo.com

Air freight charge: -
Thai Airways :Thb72.-/kg

Handling charge :Thb3,000.- per shipment
Transportation charge:Thb1,000.- per motorbike
DGR. charge :Thb 700.- per shipment
Wooden crate :Thb5,800.- per crate (apploximate)


Total = 27740 including a crate

NB. prepairing for the "dangerous goods" certificate takes 5-7 days and requires
- Your passport of photo page & imigration stamp page (when you came
Thailand.).
- The carnet de passage (if applicable)
- Simplified Customs Delcaration Form from import into Thailand ( white paper from customs)


Mr.Thira K.
Excel Transport Int'l Co., Ltd.-BKK
Tel. : (02) 2545370-8 ext. 322
email
thira@exctrans.co.th

Airfreight Charges
1) Airfreight (by Thai Airways) THB57 + 2 (Crisis) + 8 (Fuel) = THB67.00 per kg.
2) Kathmandu Surcharges (charges by TG) = THB 1.00 per kg.
3) Dangerous Goods (charges by TG) = THB700.00 per shipment

Handling Charges
1) Local Handling Charges = THB3,500.00 + Vat 7 % per shipment
(included : Customs Clearance at BKK, Terminal Charges, Awb. Fee, Services Charges)
2) Transportation Charges = THB1,500.00 + Vat 7 % per shipment
3) Packing Charges (Wooden Crate / Case) = ?


TOTAL = 27460 (not including a crate)

Remarks :
1) We would need approx. 10 days (excluded : Sat./Sunday) for the process of export Dangerous Goods (The Airlines declared ‘Motorcycle’ as Dangerous Goods under UN 3166 – Engines, Internal Combustion)
2) To get an approval from AOT (Airport Authority of Thailand) to export DGR shipment spend about 3-5 days is needed. (not include Saturday & Sunday)
3) Fuel Tank must be drained and battery must be disconnected
4) Document Requried :
- Your Passport Copy
- Import Declaration Form from Thai Customs while you entering Thailand.
5) We’ve to registered your name with Thai Customs to export the goods from Thailand (spend 1 day) per Customs Regulations.




It's also worth mentioning that because of the blockades in Dec 2008 security is quite tight and you need to give your self extra time to pass security, perform DG certificate and for customs clearance.

Hope this may help anyone else looking to ship from Bangkok to Kathmandu.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
