THE Trade Department under the Ministry of Commerce has released Newsletter 3/2024 on 30 May 2024, stating that actions will be taken under the Export and Import Law if it is found that the imports have arrived at ports and airports before receiving import licences or permits, starting from 1 July 2024.

Notification No 50/2020 was issued on 8 July 2020, saying that the import items, except for those that are allowed to be stored in the Customs Warehouse, are not to arrive at the ports and airports without any permission. If the early arrival of goods without permission is found, the companies that import these goods will face legal action in accordance with the Export and Import Law. However, people fail to follow the regulations, and the goods arrive at the ports and airports in advance without permission.

The Customs Department is permitted to store the essential products for local manufacturing and health sectors in the Customs Warehouse in accordance with the procedures.

Therefore, it is announced here that individuals and companies should follow the enacted laws and regulations without fail and should not import the goods to the ports and airports without import licences or permits.
