Thailand's Department of Foreign Trade reports imports from China reached about 2.21 trillion baht in the first two quarters of 2026, up 31.55% year on year. At the 8th Thai-China trade remedy meeting on 22 September 2569 (2026), Thailand proposed an "Early Warning" mechanism with China's TRB to flag fast-rising imports and possible dumping before they hurt local operators or become trade disputes. The department says the aim is proportionate use of trade remedies, not more retaliation. For a Thai SME, this signals more scrutiny of cheap Chinese goods and e-commerce imports, which could mean future anti-dumping measures affecting your inputs or competitors. No immediate action is required; watch for any named products or investigations.
