Control of goods related to weapons of mass destruction to be tightenedThe Commerce Ministry looks set to enforce measures to control goods related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and dual-use items (DUI), which are goods that have both commercial and military use. Ronnarong Phoolpipat, director-general of the Foreign Trade Department, said the department is preparing to tighten measures to control products related to the proliferation of WMD and DUI that were previously voluntary. "Consequently, the department decided to intensify measures to control goods related to the proliferation of WMD and DUI. Thailand has a law to control WMD and related items, with enforcement starting in 2020. Mr Ronnarong said in the initial phase of implementing licensing measures, exporters may need time to learn the regulations and guidelines.
