Steering: Thailand requires right-hand drive
Every vehicle in our current stock is left-hand drive (LHD), sourced from mainland China, and Thailand requires right-hand drive for registration — so we cannot supply a compliant passenger vehicle from stock today. Tell us the model and model year you need and we will confirm whether an RHD unit can be sourced, with price and lead time, before you commit.
Duty & VAT
Under the ASEAN-China FTA, China-origin electric vehicles generally qualify for 0% import duty into Thailand, with excise tax also reduced for BEVs under the BOI EV incentive scheme; 7% VAT applies on customs value plus duty. Rates shown are indicative only based on publicly available general schedules — always confirm current duty, VAT and any EV incentives with a licensed customs broker in-country before ordering.
Used-Vehicle Import Rules
Thailand effectively prohibits commercial import of used passenger vehicles for resale under longstanding trade policy; used-export orders to Thailand are not recommended.
EV Incentives
Thailand's BOI EV3/EV3.5 incentive scheme provides reduced excise tax and import-duty benefits for qualifying battery-electric vehicles, alongside the 0% ACFTA tariff on China-origin units.

Landed-cost figures are quoted per vehicle rather than listed here — our stock turns over constantly, so any number printed today would be stale. Browse what is in stock now, or send us the model and model year you want and we will come back with a full landed-cost breakdown to Thailand.

Import & Shipping Guides for Thailand

Thailand: high duty, right-hand drive, narrow used route

The tariff is the story

Thailand applies a very high 80% duty on imported vehicles plus 7% VAT, which is why the entry route matters more than the shipping cost: a used import that has to pass through the full rate rarely competes with the local market.

Steering

Thailand is right-hand drive (RHD applies), so a compliant unit cannot come from our LHD inventory and has to be sourced on request.

Port

Laem Chabang is the automotive gateway.

Why the entry route matters

With duty this high, a used unit cleared through the full rate rarely competes with the local market. Thailand is also right-hand drive, so a compliant vehicle is a sourcing request rather than a stock purchase.
