Exportation of Small-Quantity Goods Along Borderlines

     The Customs Department has devised measures to address the issue of smuggling goods along the border at permanent border crossings, temporary border crossings, and trade concession points under the control of the Customs Department. To facilitate border trade appropriately and accurately with current circumstances, guidelines, procedures, and conditions for submitting applications, and for considering permits for customs procedures to export small quantities of goods along the border at permanent border crossings, temporary border crossings, or trade concession points have been issued. The exporter should submit an export goods details notice (Kor Sor Kor.153), along with one copy, to the Customs Officer at the border crossing or trade concession point. This enables the customs officers to verify the completeness and accuracy of the exported goods, as per the declaration, and to certify the export for evidence for the exporter to proceed with Value Added Tax (VAT) with the Revenue Department.

The goods being exported must comply with the following criteria:

1. Valued no more than 50,000 THB.
2. Not categorized as duty-taxable goods, prohibited goods, or restricted goods for export under the law.
3. The privilege benefits of tax and duty under customs law or other related laws, except VAT, are not applied.

Documentation required for applying to export small quantities of goods along the border:

1. National identification card, a copy of which will be taken from the original document by the Customs Officer, and the applicant must certify the copy by signing in front of the customs officer.
2. Passport
3. Border pass
4. Export goods details notice (Kor Sor Kor.153)

     For the first to third documents, any one of them can be used.

Procedure and timeframe:

1. Document Verification:

     The Customs Officer will check the completeness of the Export Goods Details Notice (Kor Sor Kor.153) and accompanying documents.

2. Product/Other Standards Inspection:

     The Customs Officer will verify the completeness and accuracy of the exported goods against the documents and certify the export.

3. Returning documents as evidence for export.
