Besides food products, processed foods, and fruits, Thai people also frequently export medicines, whether for sending to relatives or acquaintances, or for resale. However, several factors need to be considered, especially given the large number of Thai SMEs producing cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements. Those wishing to export such products should take the following into account.
1. Preparation of documents and permits.

- Import permit from the destination country. Destination countries have different export rules and regulations. Exporters must check the specific regulations in their area and whether licenses are required for that type of medication.
