Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira will depart for the United States tonight, aiming to negotiate reciprocal tariffs and non-tariff measures to secure benefits for Thailand. Leading the Thai delegation, Pichai will engage in crucial talks with US officials on July 3 regarding customs duties.

 

These negotiations follow extensive online discussions and consultations with the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). Pichai emphasised that Thailand prioritises national interests, seeking a balanced agreement that caters to both US constraints and Thai demands for a mutually beneficial outcome.

 

The agenda includes discussions on non-tariff measures, such as rules and regulations that can impede trade. Addressing these could significantly streamline import-export processes, fostering smoother business operations.

 

Drawing on other countries’ experiences with the USTR, Pichai suggested that a well-negotiated proposal might extend the US tariff adjustment period. Although some academics predict a potential 18% US tariff on Thai goods, the actual rate remains uncertain.

 

This expedited trip is set against a looming deadline, with hopes pinned on achieving favourable terms that will bolster Thailand’s competitive position in global trade.
