Home > Import To Thailand By Sea

Have you thought about exporting produce from Australia to Thailand? There are plenty of great reasons why becoming an exporter of Australian goods into Thailand can be a lucrative business venture. Thailand has a growing middle- and upper-middle class – which means there are more and more individuals to market your goods to – and it has good infrastructure. It can also act as a springboard into Asia, enabling Australian businesses to access other areas of the continent using a Thai base.

You can find out more about Thailand’s potential for trade with Australia from the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade).

Thailand Imports Of Goods: Free Trade Agreement

Exporting to Thailand has been made a lot easier in recent years thanks to the Thailand-Australia Free Trade Agreement (or TAFTA), which came into force in 2005. Under this agreement, Thailand agreed to guarantee non-discriminatory treatment of Australian investments in Thailand. The TAFTA has enabled many Australian companies, who were formerly locked out of the Thai market because of high tariffs and quotas, to find new export opportunities, particularly in areas such as agriculture, processed food and beverages, mining and automotive products.

As well as the TAFTA, trade between Australia and Thailand is also covered by the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA).

If you are not sure whether produce you wish to import to Thailand by sea or air comes under the Free Trade Agreement, you can use the Australian Government’s Free Trade Agreement Portal to find your item and see if there will be any tariffs on it.

Import To Thailand By Sea

Ocean transportation is the best bet for conducting Thailand imports of goods if you are not limited for time, if your consignment is heavy or bulky and if you are wanting to keep freight forwarding costs low. Shipping from Australia to Thailand takes around 18-30 days, depending on a number of factors such as the type of shipping container you hire, and weather conditions.
