BANGKOK — 27 June 2026, Thai government said Thailand’s cumulative cannabis export value has exceeded 2.566 billion baht and is preparing to introduce an electronic export notification system to streamline procedures for exporters.
On 27 June 2026, deputy government spokeswoman Ploythalay Laksameesaengchan said the government is continuing to modernize public services through digital technology to improve efficiency for citizens and businesses, reduce administrative duplication, enhance data exchange between agencies and facilitate trade.
She said the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM) is preparing to link its DTAM Next platform with the Customs Department’s National Single Window (NSW) system. The integration will support electronic submission of the Phor Thor 32 (ภ.ท.32) form, which is required for each shipment of controlled herbal products, including cannabis.
The NSW serves as Thailand’s central platform for exchanging electronic export documents and data. According to the government, Thailand’s cumulative exports of controlled herbal products have reached 2.566 billion baht, with total export volumes exceeding 201,658 kilograms, reflecting continued growth in the sector.
Once the systems are connected, exporters will be able to submit Phor Thor 32 applications entirely through the DTAM Next platform. Previously, businesses had to prepare paper documents and submit them in person.
Application data will be transferred automatically to the Customs Department’s NSW system, reducing paperwork, shortening processing steps, improving data accuracy, preventing document forgery and allowing applicants to track the status of their submissions more conveniently.
The department currently issues around 100-200 Phor Thor 32 certificates each month. Officials expect the digital system to reduce paper document use by more than 1,200-2,400 copies annually, while lowering travel and administrative costs for exporters.
The new system is also expected to cut processing times from 5-7 working days, including paper document delivery, to 1-2 working days through the electronic platform, enabling businesses to better plan exports and manage operations more efficiently.
