Thailand imposes up to 30% tariff on foreign e-commerce imports, hitting Chinese sellers

Thailand's cabinet authorized the finance ministry to impose duties of up to 30% on goods ordered via foreign e-commerce platforms and delivered by express courier or international post. The measure targets low-cost imports, primarily from Chinese sellers, but analysts expect limited impact due to price competition and cost advantages. This marks a notable trade policy shift in Southeast Asia, potentially setting a precedent for other countries.
