Hong Kong customs seized about 535kg of cannabis buds hidden in 1,342 insulated boxes in a sea container declared as coming from Thailand, worth roughly 533 million baht. Three people were arrested. Cannabis seizures rose 27% in the first eight months of 2026 versus the same period last year. For a Thai business, this means exporters of cannabis or insulated-box shipments face heavier inspection and risk profiling on routes from Thailand. Keep export paperwork exact and make sure cargo matches its declaration.
