Good manufacturing practice certificates

Thailand has a list of 66 food products that need to meet its good manufacturing practice (GMP).

You can find the list in Thailand GMP requirements for food products (F22/22).

If your product is listed, you need to get a food quality assurance system certificate. It’s also called a "GMP certificate" or a "product registration".

You need your certificate at different stages of the export process. These include when you register your product and when it's being cleared at the Thailand border.

Thailand will not accept any of these instead of a food quality assurance system certificate:

• Risk Management Programme registration
• Food Control Plan registration
• National Programme registration
• Free Sale Statement
• Free Sale Certificate.

How to get a good manufacturing practice certificate

For animal-based food products, the Thailand OMAR tells you how to apply for a certificate. You will need to apply through AP E-cert.

For food products that aren't animal-based, you need to complete a "CERT9 registration certificate for food products to Thailand" form and email it to the address on the form.
