After baggage reclaim
International arrivals in Terminal 1 follow customs after baggage reclaim. Make a truthful declaration when required and follow instructions from the responsible authority.
Check current Thai Customs rules for currency, controlled goods, food, medicine, tobacco, alcohol and high-value items when they apply to your journey.
Ask when uncertain
Keep receipts, prescriptions or supporting permits accessible. Choosing the correct channel and making a declaration remain the traveller’s responsibility.
Fast Track or meet-and-assist cannot waive inspection, guarantee an outcome or change the authority of customs officers.
Checklist
