Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has instructed all agencies to urgently address risk factors related to forced labor and overcapacity, in order to strengthen Thailand's position in negotiations with the United States. The move follows the US announcement of Section 301 tariffs on more than 60 trading partners, with Thailand facing a rate of 12.5 percent. The Prime Minister has assigned the Ministry of Labour, together with the Ministry of Commerce and relevant agencies, to rigorously enforce the law, compile a list of at-risk goods and industries, and develop a system for origin certification and traceability to confirm that Thai goods are not linked to forced labor. On the issue of overcapacity, the Ministry of Commerce has been designated as the lead agency to integrate efforts with the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, the Customs Department, and other relevant bodies. They are to compile a list of at-risk goods, examine production capacity, inventory levels, government subsidy measures, product origins, and the risk of rights circumvention or the use of Thailand as a transit route to evade trade measures. The Prime Minister stressed that assistance to businesses must focus on raising productivity, reducing costs, developing technology, and adding value to products, rather than supporting the expansion of production capacity or increasing output without regard to market demand, which could lead to accusations of overcapacity against Thailand. All agencies have been ordered to prepare systematic support measures, with clear assignment of responsibilities and timelines, to be used in negotiations with the US and to mitigate the impact on Thai businesses and exports.
