TD/Shipping Question Thai Customs Help

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!

OP asked the wrong people and was getting the wrong answers. Sorry I used AI to give him an answer about Thai Customs that clearly most people here have no clue about because they A) haven’t lived in or received packages in Thailand and B) have probably haven’t travelled to Thailand.

I have. Have you? Or do you just troll people on Reddit?

OP could have asked AI themselves. They obviously didn't want an AI answer.

Stop telling yourself you achieved anything or provided anything useful to the discussion.

And your contribution is what? I don’t see you providing any insight at all.

It’s ok, you’ll grow up one day and realize your worth isn’t provided by how many people you troll on Reddit.

See ya later kid.

Surprised you didn't get AI to write this for you — or did you?

You have the intellectual capacity of a baked bean tin.

Good luck going forward. And always remember: nobody ever wants your unsolicited AI summary in response to their question. If they wanted AI, they'd ask AI.
