Thailand introduces new cross-border e-commerce regulation

Recently, according to the latest news, Thailand announced three important new regulatory rules for cross-border e-commerce: from January 1, 2026, customs duties and VAT will be levied on all imports valued at 1 baht and above.

Raise the inspection rate of full container shipments from 20% to 30%, and implement 100%X optical security inspection at high-risk border stations; require platforms to disclose seller and product information since December 31, 2025.On December 22, Thailand's Commissioner of Customs, Mr. Bantong, announced to the public that he had signed a memorandum of cooperation with Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, SHEIN, TEMU five mainstream e-commerce platforms to sign a memorandum of cooperation, which will heavily regulate illegal and non-compliant imports in three major dimensions: first, to open up the platform's merchandise data chain, improve the efficiency of customs clearance and verification, and maintain a fair trade environment; second, to establish a cross-platform information collaboration mechanism to accurately block the flow of contraband distribution channels; and third, to strengthen the precision of tax administration and management, and to eliminate the loss of tax revenues. At the key policy level, starting from January 1, 2026, Thailand will completely abolish the current tax exemption policy for imports under 1,500 baht, and instead levy taxes on all imports valued at ≥1 baht, which is expected to generate an additional tax revenue of 3 billion baht per year. Among them, the tax rate for fashion goods such as clothing and footwear can be up to 30%, and the tax rate for bags is about 20%. Currently, most platforms have already incorporated the tax into the selling price of goods in advance to ensure that orders of 97% can be delivered directly to the door, and only parcels sent by the Thai postal channel are required to pay the tax at the time of receipt by the addressee.

Impact on Sellers and Recommendations

Taken together, the policy package is expected to generate at least 3 billion baht per year in tax revenue for the Thai government.

Its policy orientation is very clear: to raise the cost of imports, to protect the local industry, and to combat low-priced dumping and non-compliant declarations.

For Chinese sellers, 2026 will be the final window of transition.

Three core recommendations are made here:

1. Reconfiguration of the cost model: a farewell to "low-price invoicing"

Previously relied on "small packet duty-free" advantage to do low-priced store chain has been completely broken.

It is recommended that sellers must immediately recalculate their pricing models. On top of the original logistics and product costs, the hard tax burden of 17% and the hidden costs of logistics delays due to increased inspection rates must be factored in.

2. Compliance is the only lifeline: documents must be consistent

Under the high inspection rate (30%) and the whole chain traceability mechanism, any attempt to avoid TISI/FDA certification or reduce taxes through "rushing" or "concealment" will face a very high cost of silence.

3. Localization: Sellers should register a Thai physical company and VAT number as early as possible.

Solve the problem of certifying the subject of holding through formal channels to avoid the risk of "proxy holding".
