Thailand’s cabinet has approved a tax increase of no more than 30% for goods imported through e-commerce platforms, the finance minister said on 10 November 2026 as CNA reported.
The decision follows a separate policy that took effect on 1 January 2026. Under that policy, online imports became subject to value-added tax and import duties from a declared value of 1 baht, ending an exemption for items valued at 1,500 baht or less, the Thai government said.
The new increase’s effective date, product coverage, applicable tax and previous rate remain unspecified. It is also unclear whether the 30% refers to a proportional increase, a percentage-point increase or a ceiling on the resulting rate.
