TSIC Division
Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles
Definition
Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, includes activities such as wholesale on a fee or contract basis, wholesale of agricultural raw materials and live animals, and wholesale of food, beverages, and tobacco. It also covers wholesale of household goods, machinery, equipment, and supplies, as well as other specialized and non-specialized wholesale trade.
Foreign ownership
Wholesale of goods of all kinds, where the minimum capital per store is below the level prescribed in the Act
Not a hard restriction — only applies while under-capitalised. A foreign-majority wholesaler is exempt from this List 3 item (no Foreign Business Licence needed) once minimum registered capital reaches the Act's threshold, typically THB 100 million per store. Verify current ministerial-regulation figures.
Auto-mapped, verify against the Act. These TSIC mappings are indicative, not legal advice; the schedules of the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 are the authority. See the full foreign ownership reference.
