The US has implemented tariffs up to 100% on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and components under Section 232, effective September 3, 2024 (with additional components from February 9, 2025). Thailand—not eligible for preferential rates granted to EU, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and others—faces significant impact: Thai drone exports surged 232% annually to $8.64M in 2023, while components reached $86.55M. The Thai Commerce Ministry urgently advises exporters to verify HS codes against Annexes I-IV and urgently revise cost/pricing strategies to mitigate exposure.
