All goods exported from Thailand are required to be reported to
the Customs Department and are subject to customs controls.
The steps for exporting goods from Thailand are as follows:
Step 1 – E-Customs system registration
Since 2007, Thailand's export procedures have been
centralized into the online E-Customs system. To register for the
E-Customs system, the exporter must first obtain a "digital
certificate". A digital certificate is an electronic signature
file used to confirm the identity of the sender of and the
authenticity of electronic documents.
Once a digital certificate is obtained, the exporter may then
register for the E-Customs system. A Company may choose to either
register with the system directly (i.e. at their own office) or by
using an agent. For the latter option, the agent will handle the
entire registration process.
