Radio Communication Equipment and Telecommunication Equipment are strictly categorized as "Restricted Goods" or "Controlled Goods" for import and export under Thai law.

The main reasons stem from their being products that create a health burden and are directly linked to government tax and revenue collection.
Plants and plant parts (Plant Products) are classified as "Prohibited Articles" or "Restricted Articles" for import and export out of the Kingdom of Thailand under Thai law. The Plant Quarantine Act B.E. 2507 (1964) (as amended) is the primary law governing this control.
Firearms, ammunition, explosives, and imitation firearms are classified as "Restricted Items" or "Controlled Goods" at the highest level under Thai law. The primary reason for this is that they are objects of high danger and directly impact national security and public safety.
Buddha images, artistic artifacts, and antiques are considered "Restricted Items" or "Controlled Goods" under the laws governing the import and export of goods out of the Kingdom of Thailand.
