Thailand Tariffs 2026
Thailand has no FTA with the US, but it avoids Section 301 surcharges. Electronics enter duty-free under the IT Agreement. Here's the complete 2026 breakdown by product category.
China-to-Thailand Shift: Tariff Advantage
Thailand is a major beneficiary of supply chain diversification away from China. Thai-made goods pay MFN plus the 12.5% forced-labor tariff — the same 12.5% as China, but without China's Section 301 list duties. For many categories (furniture, machinery, electronics assembly), a Thai origin saves 7.5–25 points vs Chinese-made equivalents. Verify origin rules with your customs broker to ensure genuine Thai manufacturing.

Thailand Tariff FAQ
Thai goods pay MFN duty plus the forced-labor Section 301 tariff at 12.5% — Thailand is in the 12.5% tier since 24 July 2026. There is no US-Thailand FTA and no China-style Section 301 list duty. Computers, phones and chips are exempt from the 12.5%; other electronics pay it. Section 232 goods (steel, aluminum, copper, autos) pay the 232 rate instead.
No. US-Thailand FTA negotiations began in 2004 but stalled and were never completed. Thailand is part of ASEAN and has FTAs with Australia, China, Japan, and several other partners, but not the United States. US imports from Thailand therefore pay standard MFN rates.
Thailand avoids China's Section 301 list duties (25% on most industrial goods, 7.5% on apparel), while both pay the same 12.5% forced-labor tariff. Wooden furniture: 12.5% from Thailand vs 37.5% from China. Thailand also has strong automotive and electronics supply chains. Note that India, Indonesia and Malaysia sit in the lower 10% tier.
It depends on the product. Computers, smartphones, network equipment and chips have 0% MFN duty and are exempt from the forced-labor tariff (HTSUS U.S. note 52), so they enter duty-free. Other electronics — TVs, batteries, headphones, printers, cameras — pay MFN plus 12.5%.
Active anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on Thai-origin goods include: frozen shrimp, rubber tires, solar panels (investigations ongoing), and some steel products. Company-specific ADD rates vary. Use the USITC ADCVD database to look up the specific rate for your Thai supplier.
