Thailand: Licensing for export and re-export of dual-use items
New permit requirements for exports and re-exports of certain dual-use items effective July 30, 2026
The Ministry of Commerce (MOC) has introduced new regulations requiring permits for the export and re-export of dual-use items (DUIs), which are goods with both civilian and military applications. The measures are intended to strengthen controls on materials and technology that could be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and align with UN Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004).
Effective July 30, 2026, exporters of products in Category 0 (Nuclear Materials, Facilities, and Equipment) must obtain an e-license before export or re-export. Licensing decisions will consider the intended end use and the parties involved in the transaction, and exporters must comply with additional notification and reporting requirements.
