Authorities Seize 50,000 Uncertified Products in Samut Prakan Warehouse Raid
Thai officials have raided a large warehouse in Bang Sao Thong, seizing 50,000 items lacking mandatory industrial standards, valued at nearly 20 million baht.
On October 30, 2026, officials from the Thai Ministry of Industry, led by the 'Top Gun' special operations unit and the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI), conducted a raid on a massive warehouse complex located at kilometer 26 of the Bang Na-Trad Road in Samut Prakan province. The operation followed reports that the facility, spanning approximately 28 rai, was being used to store goods that failed to meet mandatory industrial standards (TISI certification). During the inspection of the three large warehouses on-site, authorities discovered and seized approximately 50,000 items, with an estimated total value of nearly 20 million baht. The confiscated inventory included various consumer goods, such as motorcycle helmets, rubber pacifiers, children's toys, and hair curlers. Officials have issued a warning to the public, urging consumers to verify the presence of the TISI mark before purchasing products to avoid potential safety hazards associated with uncertified goods. While the raid successfully removed these items from the supply chain, investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the distribution network and the parties responsible for the storage of these non-compliant products. Residents and visitors are advised to remain cautious when purchasing low-cost consumer goods and to look for official safety certifications.
