Exporting to Thailand

Thailand is one of the most dynamic economies in Southeast Asia and an important market for Dutch machinery, automotive parts, agri-technology, pharmaceuticals, and high-tech products. Schiphol offers direct cargo flights to Bangkok (BKK) via Thai Airways Cargo and KLM Cargo. Cargo-to-cargo transit time is generally 11–14 hours.

Customs & Regulations

Thai Customs operates with the e-Customs (NSW) system and is largely digitalized. Most shipments require a commercial invoice, packing list, and—depending on the type of goods—an import license. Food products, cosmetics, and medical devices require prior FDA Thailand registration. Electrical products must comply with TISI certification requirements.

Practical Tips

  • Always work with a registered Thai importer—clearing is not possible without a Thai business number
