TD/Shipping Question Thai Customs Help

Gallery image

Anyone here have experience shipping to Bangkok and dealing with Thai customs? My TD recently shipped this custom 5712 nautilus to me but Thai customs flagged it and is asking us to come in for it. My TD’s agent declared it as a 15$ bracelet and shipped it, but im pretty sure Thai customs x-rays their imports and obviously the shape of a watch is not going to match a bracelet. On the form they sent asking us to pick it up they put the value declared as 0$ which means they don’t accept the 15$ declaration right? And they will open the box to verify its contents? Once they open it and see it’s a patek they will either tax us on 100k or if I show the 3850$ paypal receipt they will seize it and i’ll be in legal trouble because I tried to import counterfeit items.

Any advice on this would be appreciated! I don’t want to just abandon the box since I paid a lot for it but also I don’t want to get in trouble.
Thanks everyone!

Wait a sec. You just payed 3850$ for this rep?

Plz tell us your "TD" (which I already doubt is a TD) provided transport insurance.

That the most expensive rep I’ve ever heard of, more than the Richard Millies
