In Thailand’s highly regulated manufacturing environment, companies operating under Board of Investment (BOI) privileges must maintain strict control over imported machinery, production scrap, waste materials, and non-formula losses. Proper inspection, verification, and documentation are essential to ensure continued BOI compliance, avoid tax liabilities, and maintain transparency during audits and customs reviews.
Advantage Co., Ltd. has established itself as a trusted inspection partner for manufacturers requiring professional machine and scrap inspection services in accordance with Thailand BOI regulations. With extensive industry experience and ISO/IEC 17020:2012 certification, the company supports factories across electronics, PCB manufacturing, automotive parts, plastic injection molding, metal processing, and industrial production sectors.
Understanding BOI Scrap and Machine Inspection
Under BOI promotion privileges, many manufacturers receive exemptions on import duties and taxes for raw materials, machinery, and production equipment. However, BOI regulations require companies to properly manage:
- Production scrap and waste
- Defective or rejected products
- Expired raw materials
- Non-formula losses
- Obsolete or damaged machinery
- Surplus production materials
- Scrap generated during manufacturing processes
Without proper inspection and certification, these materials may be considered taxable inventory, potentially resulting in additional import duties, penalties, or loss of BOI privileges
