- 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.
- 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.
