ATIGA Form D – 0% duty
Steel structures of Vietnamese origin enter Thailand duty-free under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement. We issue Form D with every shipment.

DAP – Delivered At Place
We deliver to your site in Thailand ready for unloading; you pay Thai duties and VAT and clear import.
Under DAP we deliver the steel on our truck to your site in Thailand, ready for unloading. You act as the importer of record: you clear Thai customs and pay any duty and VAT – or use your own exemptions.
DAP is ideal for BOI-promoted projects and factories inside IEAT free zones, where the importer's privileges remove duty or VAT. We handle the vessel, the Thai port and the truck; your broker files the import entry under your licence.

Thailand
What matters for steel imported into Thailand
Import VAT 7%
VAT is charged on the CIF value plus duty at clearance and is normally reclaimable by VAT-registered companies. Under DDP we pay it and include it in the price.
BOI & free zones
Projects with BOI privileges or inside an IEAT free zone may import with duty and VAT exemptions – then DAP or CIF lets you use your own privileges.
Four ports, one week
Laem Chabang for the EEC and central Thailand, Bangkok (Khlong Toei) for the capital, Map Ta Phut for Rayong and Songkhla for the South.
Containers or break-bulk
Most buildings ship in 40' HC and flat-rack containers. Very long or heavy members can go break-bulk to Laem Chabang.
Plan around holidays
Songkran (April) and New Year slow Thai ports and customs. We book vessels and trucks around them so your steel does not wait in a yard.
