The Foreign Trade Department has tightened measures regarding the issuance of a certificate of origin (CO) on Thai products at risk of circumvention by foreign companies.
A CO is an international trade document which declares where commodities or goods were manufactured.
Pitak Udomwichaiwat, director-general of the Foreign Trade Department, said his body recently announced 42 items suspected of circumvention by foreign companies using Thailand as a base for re-export, particularly to the US and the EU.
