  "account": "Thailand Post has introduced an online tool to assist online merchants and SMEs in complying with EU customs requirements when exporting goods to the 27 member states of the European Union. By inputting product information, including the mandatory product identifier (PID) code, on the DPost Inter website (dpostinter.thailandpost.com), businesses can streamline the shipping process and reduce the risk of customs clearance issues. EU rules stipulate that cross-border online transactions with a value of €150 or less must include a PID to identify, verify, and trace goods, ensuring they meet EU safety and regulatory standards. The DPost Inter platform allows users to enter product descriptions and customs declaration details, which are then transmitted for international shipping and customs processing. Thailand Post defines three types of PID: Merchant PID, Non-Standardised Manufacturer PID, and Standardised Manufacturer PID. Senders are advised to ensure PID information is accurate, specific to each product, and does not exceed 35 characters. The company continues to assist Thai businesses in adapting to evolving EU shipment requirements, emphasizing the importance of careful product information preparation to minimize customs-related risks and enhance competitiveness in international markets.",
  "summary": "Thailand Post now allows online merchants and small and medium-sized enterprises to send goods to the European Union's (EU) 27 member states by filling in the mandatory product identifier (PID) code on its DPost Inter website, in compliance with EU customs requirements.",
