On 9 July 2024, the cabinet of Thailand approved a draft of the Ministerial Regulation on Fee Exemption for Customs Services related to Transit under section 102 of the Customs Act B.E. 2560 as proposed by the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”).
At present, the Ministerial Regulation imposes a transit fee for many types of cargo transport, such as THB 300 for every truck, pickup truck and delivery van.
The approved draft, if it become effective, will exempt these fees as the MOF intended to improve the effectiveness in Thai logistics and also boost trading and investment in Thailand.
