QUOTAS:
The
Department
of
Foreign
Trade
administers
the
textile
quota
allocation
to
Thai
exporters
by
granting
them
Textile
Export
Licenses
for
products
entering
the
American,
Canadian
or
European
markets.
The
available
quota
is
divided
into
two
parts:
the
basic
quota
and
the
residual
quota.
The
principal
quota
(usually
70
to
80
percent
of
the
export
quota
available)
is
distributed
free
annually
to
exporting
firms
on
the
basis
of
their
past
export
performance.
The
rest
20
percent,
is
allocated
on a
monthly
basis
and
can
be
sought
by
new
firms,
or
ones
already
holding
principal
quotas.
The
system
favors
large
exporting
firms
who
can
monopolize
the
rents
because
of
their
historical
performance,
and
forces
new
firms
to
concentrate
on
non-quota
markets
including
Japan,
and
ASEAN
countries.
If
wanting
to
import
clothing
to
EU,
USA
or
Canadian
markets
their
is a
quota
you
must
pay
in
Thailand
on
top
of
the
purchase
price
for
the
clothes
plus
shipping.
Textile
and
Clothing
Quotas The
Thai
government
imposes
quotas
on
companies
exporting
textiles
and
clothes
to
various
countries.
Please
contact
the Ministry
of
Commerce (MOC)
or
the Thai
Garment
Manufacturers
Association to
find
out
more.
Thailand's
chief
exports
are
rice,
sugar,
corn,
coffee
and
other
agricultural
products.
Food
like
rice
and
sugar,
are
reserved
by
law
to
ensure
that
domestic
needs
are
met
first
before
exports
can
be
permitted.
Thus,
some
goods
require
an
export
license
according
to
the
Export
Standard
Act
(No.
2)
of
1979,
administered
by
the
Commodity
standards
Office
of
the
Ministry
of
commerce.
Together
with
some
other
laws,
this
Act
aims
to
control
the
quality
of
the
goods
exported
as
well
as
to
assure
financial
and
managerial
capabilities
of
exporting
companies.

Not
all

so
the
need

is
inconsequential.

such
as
invoices,
collection
bills
and
import
permits
(if

A
Certificate
of
Payment
from
an
authorized
bank
or
the
Bank
of
Thailand,

are also dearer.
