FAQs
A: The process begins with obtaining BOI approval for the machinery master list, followed by customs clearance using the duty exemption privilege. Transpo Logistics manages the entire workflow — from coordinating master list approval with BOI, preparing all required documentation, to completing customs clearance and cargo release at the port or airport.
A: OGA refers to government bodies other than Customs that regulate specific product categories for safety and standards compliance. Examples include food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics (controlled by the Thai FDA), telecommunications equipment (controlled by NBTC), and industrial components (controlled by TISI). Transpo Logistics analyzes the product's HS Code to determine which OGA permits are required and handles the full application process before the actual import takes place.
A: An incorrect production formula can prevent proper raw material discharge in the RMTS system, potentially leading to retroactive duty collection with surcharges and penalties. Transpo Logistics has a dedicated team that verifies and prepares production formulas with precision to prevent this risk and protect your BOI privileges.
