FAQ

JDM imports to Thailand

Why are JDM car imports expensive in Thailand?

Thailand applies an 80% Completely-Built-Up (CBU) import duty on most passenger vehicles, per the Thai Customs Department tariff schedule. Combined with VAT (7%) and excise duty, total landed cost can exceed the purchase price of the vehicle. Commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery face lower duty rates. Use the import cost calculator to model the total landed cost before you buy.

Is RHD driving common in Thailand?

Yes — Thailand drives on the left, so RHD vehicles are the norm for domestically-produced and imported vehicles. Japanese RHD stock is naturally compatible with Thai road rules.
