Thailand market entry consulting

From market research and TFDA registration before entry to distribution and marketing afterwards, we support Korean brands in Thailand step by step. Services are tailored to each company, such as a basic entry package or a sales growth package.

How market entry works

The usual sequence for cosmetics. It varies with the product and the state of the documents, and we carry out the steps that fall within the scope of the engagement. The pre-assessment and registration feasibility check are paid services.

Pre-assessmentWe review ingredients, claims, and sizes to decide whether the product is treated as a cosmetic, a health supplement, or a medical device in Thailand, and check for restricted ingredients and claim issues in advance.
Local license holderIn Thailand, a local company or individual must act as the importer and license holder. We arrange this through our local partner company, including the power of attorney.
DocumentsWe prepare the full ingredient list, the product information file (safety and quality data), manufacturer details, and a Thai label draft. Most of the overall timeline is set at this stage.
TFDA submissionOnce the documents are complete, we submit through the e-Submission system and receive a notification number. The number is printed on the label and is valid for three years.
Labeling and importWe apply Thai labels, clear import customs, and receive the goods into a Thai warehouse.
Distribution and marketingSales begin with distributor matching, TikTok Shop and Shopee listings, and influencer marketing.

Registration by product type

Product	Procedure	Main documents
Cosmetics	Online notification	Ingredient list, product information file, Thai label
Health supplements	Licensing after review	Ingredient and dose rationale, facility data, efficacy evidence
Medical devices	Registration or licensing by risk class	Classification data, quality management certificate, product documents

What to check before entering

Thai labeling Product name, ingredients, usage, manufacturer and importer details, expiry date, and notification number are required.
Local responsibility The Thai importer and license holder is responsible for the notification and for post-market quality and safety.
Per-product filing Each product (SKU) is filed separately, so cost and schedule depend on the number of products.

Ingredient rules Prohibited and restricted ingredients and limits must be checked, and a formula used in Korea may need changes.
Claims Functional claims such as whitening or hair loss are limited by product class and evidence, so marketing copy is reviewed together.
Renewal The notification is valid for three years, and renewal can be filed from six months before expiry.
