Advance Tariff Ruling is necessary matter and service provided by Thai Customs upon the written application by a business operator. The ruling outlines how Customs applies provision of existing laws and regulations concerning national tariff nomenclature to a specific commodity. The business operator who would like to seek the tariff classification of a product may apply for an advance tariff ruling to Thai Customs.
An application for an advance tariff ruling must be submitted in prescribed form at least 30 official days before the proposed date of importation of the goods. In addition, the application should contain all the information required by Thai Customs. It is the responsibility of a business operator to provide Thai Customs with complete and accurate information. Failure to provide all the necessary information may result in a delay or inability to issue or nullification of the advance tariff ruling.
