The US White House report "The Great Transshipment Scam" places Thailand in Tier 2 for illegal transshipment risk, alongside Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. The Thai National Shippers' Council warns that US inspections of goods with high Chinese raw material or component content could bring higher documentation costs and longer customs clearance. The US is building AI-enabled border tools to trace supply chains. If you export to the US, start keeping records of raw material sources, production steps and Thai value-added content. Ask your buyer or forwarder about trusted-exporter status. The commerce ministry says it has already sent supporting data to the US, so watch for official guidance on origin criteria.
