Trade overview

Thailand is a major Southeast Asian trading economy and a key hub for automotive, electronics, agricultural products, and petrochemicals. As an ASEAN member, Thailand benefits from ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) preferences and has bilateral FTAs with Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, and India. Trade professionals should be familiar with Thailand's Customs Department procedures, Rules of Origin requirements under its FTAs, and its role as a regional manufacturing and logistics hub.
