Southeast Asia Launches Duty-Free Policy for Lingerie Imports, B2B Procurement Costs Drop by 15%
Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand jointly issued supplementary clauses to the ASEAN Textile and Apparel Trade Facilitation Agreement, implementing a 3-year duty-free policy for imported lingerie (bras, panties, shapewear) from 2025, eliminating the original 10%-15% import tariff and 7% VAT. The Certificate of Origin process is simplified, with export declarations from factories sufficient for duty-free treatment.
Customers purchasing for Southeast Asian markets save 15%-22% on tax costs. We cooperate with ASEAN freight forwarders to provide one-stop duty-free declaration services. Bulk orders (MOQ 500 pieces) include full document processing, and combined with mixed-container shipping, total procurement costs decrease by an additional 8%.
