According to the latest regulations from Thailand, imported general foods will be required to have a quality certificate similar to other products that require product registration.

This regulation will be effective from 7th October 2021 onwards for existing importers.

A quick reminder to exporting food manufacturers. Currently, Thai authorities accept the GMP quality certificate or higher, for example, HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, IFS, BRC, and SQF from exporting food manufacturers. They will not accept the ISO 9001 quality certificate.
