have imported 50 media sticks from China and the lovely people in Bangkok cargo customs have held the goods. The only way I can get these items out are through a customs clearing agent. Please can anyone recommend a good inexpensive agent thanking you all out there.

There are loads of custom clearing agents/ brokers in Bangkok. You don't just pay the broker, you pay import tax and vat as well based on the value of the stuff you bought. If you had bought your sticks from a company at for example Lazada, there wouldn't have been any additional costs or problem with customs because of the free trade agreement between China and ASEAN countries. See this link, it explains how it works:
