Imports
All the goods which enter Thailand and are cleared by the customs officials, or
whose duty or deposit has been paid, inclusive of all the goods placed in customs bonded
warehouse, but exclusive of the goods awaiting customs clearance in the warehouses. No distinction
has been made between imports for home consumption and imports for re-export.
Exports
Both the goods wholly produced in Thailand and the goods previously included in
the imports statistics, but they are changed in form or condition so as to increase their value,
excluding the goods with minor adjustments such as sorting, cleaning and repacking or blending.
Re-exports
All the goods which were previously included in the import statistics and are
exported from Thailand in the same condition as when imported. Minor adjustment, such as sorting,
cleaning and repacking or blending, do not effect the status of re-exported goods.
Direct transit
All the goods which are brought into the customs limit for the sole purpose
of transport to another contracting country. These goods are primarily under customs custody while
in Thailand.
Quantity and weight units
Quantities and weights are recorded in unit in accordance
with the Thailand Trade Nomenclature. However, when goods are required to be entered by weight,
net weigh is shown, excepting certain goods in the Custom Tariff, in which the weights of
immediate packing are used.
Values
In general, values are based on the declarations made by importers and exporters
and subsequently verified by the customs officials. For imports, C.I.F. values at the port of
destination are used. For exports, F.O.B. values at the port of departure are used. F.O.B. value are
drawn from the documents of sale for the actual amounts received in terms of national currency,
including export duties, if any.
