Cosmetic Distributor Question

[A_Traveller]

Hi, first thank for your reply earlier about importation of medical devices.

Now oddly another import query, its my long weekend for them

We have a client, a Thai company which holds the FDA approvals for a cosmetic range, but is not contractually a formal distributor.

A customer in Thailand is saying that "the rule" is they must buy from the Thai company [(as a local distributor] ) not from the foreign source, even if the approval process works (and they pay more i.e. VAT etc.). The client has successfully imported orders for other customers, of this range, into Thailand before. Is this a FDA "rule", a customs "rule" or just a "customer" rule?

TIA

Regards

That would be a client rule he is bound by.
