AMZ123 has learned that Thailand’s Director-General of the Excise Department, Pongchai Thiravich, announced enforcement results for excise tax violation cases over the past 12 months of fiscal year 2026: a total of 39,305 cases were closed during the period, with fines collected exceeding 1.069 billion baht. The final fine total is estimated to reach 5.42 billion baht. The number of cases increased by 2,848 compared with fiscal year 2025, up 7.81% year on year.

Illegal tobacco remains a key enforcement priority, with 24,321 related cases. Fines paid reached 733 million baht, and the estimated fine amount is 5.273 billion baht, accounting for the vast majority of the estimated total fines.

At present, Southeast Asian countries are continuously strengthening regulation and enforcement of tobacco, e-cigarettes and other categories. Relevant sellers should promptly verify destination-country market access permits, tax registration and product compliance documents.
