## China+1 Strategy and Tariff Benefits

Thailand-based manufacturing offers significant advantages for companies seeking to diversify away from China-based production:

### US Section 301 Tariff Avoidance
- China-origin goods face 7.5%–25% Section 301 tariffs on US import
- Thailand-origin goods enter the US under MFN (Most Favored Nation) rates, generally 0% for electronics under HTS chapters 8471, 8473, 8517, 8525, 8526, 8527, 8528, 8529, 8531, 8532, 8533, 8534, 8536, 8537, 8538, 8541, 8542
- **Estimated landed-cost savings: 15–25%** for finished electronics vs China-direct

### Geographic & Logistical Advantages
- Thailand to US West Coast: ~17 days by sea
- Thailand to US East Coast: ~25 days by sea
- Thailand to EU: ~22 days
- Multiple direct shipping routes from Laem Chabang port
- Well-established logistics infrastructure in Chonburi / Eastern Seaboard

### BOI (Board of Investment) Incentives
- 8-year corporate income tax exemption for promoted activities
- Import duty exemption on machinery, raw materials
- Permission for foreign nationals to work in promoted projects
- Land ownership rights for foreign investors (in BOI-promoted zones)

### Skilled Workforce
- Strong technical education pipeline (Chulalongkorn, KMUTT, Burapha universities nearby)
- Existing manufacturing workforce from automotive and hard disk drive industries
- Lower labor cost vs China tier-1 cities
