Before you sign a distributor in Thailand.

Most New Zealand and Australian brands that stall in Thailand do not fail on demand. They stall on who holds the licence, what the label can say, and whether the distributor contract survives a change of ownership. This workbook puts those questions in front of you before they are in front of a partner or a buyer.

What is in it

  • 31 checks across seven areas — product classification, who holds the authorisation, labels and claims, distributor terms, supply and quality, entity and tax, and the wider region.
  • Why each one matters, and the source behind it. Every line links to the regulation, regulator or law-firm summary it rests on, and says which kind of source it is.
  • Status, owner and target-date columns with dropdowns, and a dashboard that scores your readiness by section as you complete it.
  • A key-dates register for licences, notifications, trademarks and distributor agreements, with renewal flags that calculate themselves.
The authorisation to sell in Thailand is almost never in the brand owner’s name. Find out whose it is before you sign anything else.

Built from public sources as at October 2026 and our cross-border mandate work. A preparation tool, not legal or regulatory advice — confirm with Thai counsel before acting.
