Manufacturing covers activities that transform materials into finished or semi-finished goods in Thailand. Use this section when the business question is about plant activity, product output, factory workflow or industrial compliance rather than wholesale trade or simple packaging.
What belongs here
This section includes food, textiles, chemicals, machinery, furniture and other production lines where the core step is transformation or assembly.
What does not belong here
It does not cover pure trading, warehousing or field-level extraction work. Those routes usually move to wholesale, storage, mining or agriculture sections depending on the real activity.
How to use this page
Start from the division that best matches the output product, then narrow by production process before picking a 5-digit code.
FAQ
If a factory both manufactures and wholesales goods, should it start in manufacturing?
Yes, when the core activity is the transformation of inputs into goods. The wholesale route is reviewed separately for the selling function.
Does simple repacking stay in manufacturing?
Not automatically. If the work is only packing or distribution without real transformation, another section may fit better.
Should product standards be checked before the final code is fixed?
Yes. Product controls and factory obligations can materially change the compliance path even when the TSIC title looks clear.
