Exporting food product from Thailand

[darko dang]

Dear everyone on thaivisa.com,

My name is Darko.I'm currently liveing in Thailand almost a year now.I have a Thai wife and two childrens.I come up to idea to export some food products to my country Macedonia-Europe.But I do not have export/import company yet.I'm planning to use the Thai post office EMS.Does this kind of export can be done? What kind of documentation is required to clear the customs? Or can anyone advise me how or where to find information about this.

Also is there anyone know about trade company in Thailand.What would be the lowest budget as a Thai citizen to open a business of this kind?

Kind regards

You want to export by post office? Your shipments must be rather small. What is the product you want to export?

The normal way is to open an export company, there is no special licence required for foodstuff. However, in Macedonia, there will be import requirements. The foodstuff will need an import licence over there, and that will be the more difficult part. Have you checked that yet?

Dear "onthemoon" Thank you for your respond.

Well yes, I'm inform of the EMS services.

The product I like to export is a food product ,stable without any special care during the transportation.

Maybe is easy to say open an export company but not so easy for me to do it.I'm still not sure if I wanna do it and haven't find out yet HOW?

My question was :can be done without an export company?

I'm still doing a research about the macedonian import law but thank's for reminding me about the import licence.

Do you have any experience with exporting from Thailand?
