Food import licence and food serial number
Imported food needs two things: a licence for the place that imports and stores it (Or.7), and a 13-digit serial number for each product. The overseas factory certificate is usually the slowest part, so we start there.
Typical time About 2–4 months
Government cost Or.7 licence 15,000 THB, valid 3 years
Or.7 import licence→Overseas factory certificate→13-digit food number
