Shipping decision guides
DAP vs DDP from Thailand
Choose delivery terms by who pays destination duty and tax. DAP leaves import charges to the buyer. DDP includes them in the prepaid express quote when the live calculator returns Prime DDP, Flex DDP, or Priority DDP for that destination.
Parcel forwarding vs LCL sea freight
Use parcel services for small retail shipments under about 1 CBM. LCL sea freight starts at 1 CBM for boxes and pallets. Thai Nexus can consolidate cartons onto an export pallet at Hua Hin or Bangkok when your stack is ready for sea.
Air freight vs express courier from Thailand
Courier products suit retail parcels and door-to-door express from 0.5 kg. Heavier commercial cargo uses airline AWB rates with airport or agent delivery options.
Thailand export documents checklist
Commercial exports from Thailand usually need an accurate commercial invoice, packing list, and export declaration. Licences, certificates of origin, and destination permits depend on the commodity.
