5, Framework Section: National · Food Introduction

[Agriculture] Agriculture is the pillar industry of Thailand. Thailand covers a national cultivated land area of about 15 million hectares, accounting for 31% of the total land area, and has an agricultural output value accounting for more than 10% of GDP. Agricultural products are one of Thailand's important export commodities. The main agricultural products include rice, natural rubber, cassava, corn, sugar cane and tropical fruits. Thailand is the world's largest producer and exporter of rubber, and the largest exporter of cassava and rice. Capioca production is third in the world, 60% for export. In 2019, Thai rice exports were 7.58 million tons, a significant decrease from 11 million tons in 2018, mainly due to an appreciation of the baht of about 40%.

Thai fragrant rice Thai fragrant rice is a long-grain rice, a species of indica rice native to Thailand. It is world famous for its fragrant waxy taste and unique dew pocket tree fragrance. It is one of the largest exported rice varieties in the world. Thai rice is mainly produced in northeastern Thailand, especially Roi Et, Ubon Ratchathani, Burirum, chrysanthemum, Sunan House (Su stingy House), and Yitong House and other places. Thai fragrant rice shows the best quality only in its place of origin. This is because of the special growth conditions there, especially during the fragrant rice flowering period, where the cool climate, bright sunlight, and the gradually decreasing humidity in the soil during rice grouting, play a very important role in the production and accumulation of fragrance.

Durian production in Thailand is the first in the world. Every year from the end of March to October, durian can be seen everywhere. · Thailand and Malaysia are easily available.

Imported products mainly involve public safety and national safety, and other products, such as old motorcycle engines, gambling equipment; tariff quota products include longan, such as rice, coconut, garlic, feed corn, palm oil, coconut oil, longan, tea, soybean and bean cake, etc., but the tariff quota measures do not apply to import from ASEAN member states; import license is automatic import license and non-automatic import license, the products include tariff quota products and processed products such as fish, raw silk and old diesel engines. Automatic import of licensed products include some clothing, concavure printers, and color copiers. The Commercial Department of Thailand is responsible for developing the list of products subject to import license management.

[Export Management] In addition to the products controlled by export registration, export registration, quotas, export tax, export ban or other restrictions, most of the products can be free to export. Currently, there are 45 products under export tax, including rice, fur leather, teak and other wood, rubber, steel slag or iron slag, animal leather, etc.

[Trade barriers] The average tariff rate imposed by Thailand on the WTO members is 11.2%.

(1) Taritariff tariff. Thailand imposes over 30% tariffs on large numbers of imports, including agricultural products, automotive, auto and auto parts, alcoholic beverages, fiber, and some electronics. For example, silk fabrics, wool fabrics, wool fabrics and some other fiber fabrics are mostly 60%, and the import tariff rate of motorcycles and some special use vehicles reaches or exceeds 80%, 52% for rice, and 216% for dairy products.

(2) tariff upgrade. Thailand imposes zero tariffs on the vast majority of industrial raw materials and necessities, such as medical equipment; on selected raw materials, electronic parts and delivery for international transportation

1%; some chemical raw materials such as ammonium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride are only 1%; 5% on most of the primary products and capital goods; 10% on the intermediate products; 20% on the finished products; and 30% on special products to require protection.

(3) Tariff quota. Under the WTO《 Agricultural Agreement, Thailand controls 24 agricultural products and

Tax quota administration, including longan, coconut meat, milk, potatoes, onions, garlic, coconut, coffee,

Tea, dried peppers, corn, rice, soy, onion seeds, bean oil, coconut oil, instant coffee, local smoke silk, raw silk, etc. These products have low tariffs within quotas, high tariffs outside quotas, such as garlic import quotas of only 64.6 tons, tariff rate of 27% and off-quota tariff rate up to 57%.

(4) Import restrictions. Thailand requires 42 products requiring import permits, including raw materials, stone

Oil, industrial raw materials, textiles, medical drugs, and agricultural products. Thailand bans the import of second-hand motorcycles and their

Parts and game consoles. Product import must meet the specified requirements, such as paying special fees, requiring proof of origin, etc. The import of food, pharmaceutical products, mineral products, weapons, ammunition, and works of art requires the special permission of the relevant minister. Thailand requires detailed product operation information on the food production process and ingredients in the food import registration. The Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Health of Thailand stipulates that the import of all food, drugs and part of the medical equipment shall conform to the management of the import licenses. The food import license is changed every three years, each time it needs to be re-certified. After the documents are delivered to the Food and Drug Administration, the drug import license should be replaced once a year, and the same also needs to pay relevant fees.

(5) Technical trade barriers. Thailand implements mandatory certification for 60 products in 10 fields, including agricultural products, construction raw materials, consumer goods, electronic equipment and accessories, PVC pipes, medical equipment, LPG gas containers, surface coatings and means of transportation. The Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Thailand stipulates that all imported food, drugs and some medical equipment should meet the standards, testing, labeling and certification requirements. The import of these products must be accompanied with Thai labels indicating the product name, weight or capacity, production and expiration date of production and approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Health of Thailand.

(6) Government procurement. Thailand is not a signatory to the WTO《 Government Procurement Agreement. In government procurement bidding, Thailand set a series of restrictions on foreign bidding enterprises, making it impossible to bid or difficult to win the bid. If Thailand often stipulates in the bidding documents that Thailand shall not participate in bidding; the government procurement department is uncertain about the bidding qualification, has the right to accept or reject some or all bids at any time, or even modify the technical requirements in the bidding process; the tenderer has no right to appeal about the bidding conclusion. According to the Sales Trade Law promulgated by Thailand in May 2000, foreign winning enterprises must barter for government procurement contracts of more than 300 million baht to repurchase Thai products worth no less than 50% of the contract amount, which greatly increases the operating costs of foreign winning enterprises.

7.1.4 Inspection and Quarantine

Thailand's authority for commodity quality supervision, inspection and standard certification is mainly the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Ministry of Health and the National Agricultural Food and Food Standards Authority (ACFS) under the Ministry of Agricultural Cooperation.

The domestic regulations and international agreements underlying FDA are: Thailand Drug Act 1967, Mental Substances Act 1975, Food Act 1979, Narcotics Act 1979, Medical Device Act 1988, Prevention of Volatile Substances Act 1990, Cosmetics Act 1992, Dangerous Substances Act 1992, International Convention on Mental substances 1971, United Nations Agreement against the illicit sale of narcotic and psychotropic substances of 1988. FDA controls the market access of goods according to relevant laws and regulations, and reviews and issues the corresponding health certificates, GMP certificates, certificates of HACCP and free sales certificates of all kinds of goods. The importer must apply for an import license to import food, the designated pantry must be used after FDA inspection, the import license must be updated every 3 years; for specially controlled food, the importer must register with FDA to obtain approval to import.

ACFS's primary responsibility is to develop standards for primary, food and processed agricultural products, issuing

License, the certification agencies and enterprises of the relevant products, in addition, but also assist and

Participating in foreign negotiations on technical issues, non-tariff measures and international standards, its main objective is to develop the Thai standard system of agricultural and food products to international standards to expand exports of agricultural products and food. Since its inception, the ACFS has formulated and published 22 plant food standards, 10 animal product standards, 3 fish food standards, and 20 other standards.

Tourists who enter Thailand with plants, live animals, pets, animals and animal products, must apply to the Ministry of Agriculture of Thailand in advance. After approval, they must go through the customs clearance procedures through the animal and plant inspection and quarantine.

7.1.5 Customs Management Rules and Regulations

The Customs Law (Customs Act) is the fundamental legal system for implementing customs administration in Thailand. Currently, the Thai Customs import and export commodity code and customs duty administration system is formulated under the revised Customs Tariff Act (Customs Tariff Decree 1987) of 1987. The Government of Thailand will irregularly adjust the commodity code classification and customs duties according to the administrative needs, and the relevant decrees and announcements can be checked on the website of Thailand Customs at the website address:

www.igtf.customs. go.th/igtf/en/main.frame.jsp.

In Thailand, most imports require two tax parts, customs duties and VAT (VAT). Tariff method is generally taxed by price, and some goods are also taxed at a specific unit tax rate. In general, the tariff calculation formula for import goods is CIF multiplied by the import tax rate, and the import tariff of most goods is between 0-80%; the total value of the imported goods and the consumption tax (some goods are paid) is multiplied by 7%.
