Thailand wants to keep its US tariff at the agreed 19% and is racing to close talks before Washington publishes Section 301 findings on forced labour and overcapacity, which could bring extra tariffs. Thailand currently faces a 12.5% forced-labour-related tariff, versus 10% for neighbours with US deals. If you export to the US, price and margin plans should assume the rate could move up. Watch for the Section 301 announcement and the Prime Minister's US visit. No deadline has been set in the article.
