Thailand faces closer scrutiny over products falsely claiming "Made in Thailand" status that are exported to the US, following a surge in Thai exports to the American market over the past year. In addition, Thai products rank among the top five subject to US anti-dumping measures. Regarding products falsely claiming Thai origin, the two agencies cooperated on investigations and arrests, with the value of such seizures rising by 142% year-on-year. One major case was handled by the Bangkok Port Customs Office, which seized goods falsely claiming Thai origin. Mr Phantong said the two departments will continue to implement stricter measures to intercept goods falsely declaring origin.
