Applications are currently processed through the National Single Window (NSW).<\/p>\n<p>According to the Department of Disease Control, the process includes registration, submission of production site and product data, data verification, review of the application, payment of the service fee and issue of the certificate in electronic form.<\/p>\n<p>Pink Form information and related announcements are available from the <a href=\"https:\/\/ddc.moph.go.th\/dcd\/news.php?deptcode=&amp;news=35437\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Division of General Communicable Diseases, Department of Disease Control<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Does every food shipment need a Pink Form?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>No. Food products do not need a Pink Form for every shipment or every country, so check the importer&#8217;s and destination country&#8217;s requirements before you start.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Document requirements for food imports differ by country, product type and destination authority. Some shipments may need a Pink Form, others a different certificate, and some none at all.<\/p>\n<p>If the buyer only asks for a &#8220;health certificate&#8221;, do not assume it means a Pink Form. Ask the importer for the full certificate name, a sample or their written requirement to confirm first.<\/p>\n<h2>What does KTC&#8217;s Pink Form service cover?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>KTC checks the initial information and coordinates the related steps, but reviewing and issuing the certificate is the responsibility of the Department of Disease Control.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The service scope can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Initial review of the shipment details<\/li>\n<li>Check of the commercial invoice and packing list<\/li>\n<li>Check of the product name and details<\/li>\n<li>Check of the manufacturer or factory details<\/li>\n<li>Check of the exporter details<\/li>\n<li>Check of the consignee or importer details<\/li>\n<li>Check of the destination country of the shipment<\/li>\n<li>Check that the data is consistent across documents<\/li>\n<li>Notice of any extra information needed<\/li>\n<li>Coordination of the Pink Form application steps<\/li>\n<li>Status follow-up within the service scope<\/li>\n<li>Check of the certificate details before use with the shipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Approval of the application, issue of the certificate and the government&#8217;s service conditions follow the criteria and decisions of the Department of Disease Control. KTC Global Logistics is not the issuing authority.<\/p>\n<h2>What information is needed for a Pink Form?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>For an initial check, have the commercial invoice, packing list, product details, manufacturer details, exporter, consignee and destination country ready.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Information to send to our team:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Commercial invoice<\/li>\n<li>Packing list<\/li>\n<li>Product name in Thai and English<\/li>\n<li>Product description or type<\/li>\n<li>HS code, if available<\/li>\n<li>Name and address of the factory or production site<\/li>\n<li>Name and address of the exporter<\/li>\n<li>Name and address of the consignee \/ importer<\/li>\n<li>Destination country<\/li>\n<li>Quantity<\/li>\n<li>Weight<\/li>\n<li>Production and expiry dates, if available and relevant<\/li>\n<li>Shipment details such as vessel, flight, ETD or transport information, if confirmed<\/li>\n<li>The requirement or a sample certificate from the importer, if available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This list helps KTC check the job up front. It should not be treated as a fixed list of documents the Department of Disease Control requires for every application, because the actual details depend on the product and the data submitted in the system.<\/p>\n<h2>Which system is used for the Pink Form?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The Department of Disease Control issues the certificate of disease-free food production source through the National Single Window (NSW).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Department&#8217;s procedure requires the business to register to use the system, then submit production site and product data to apply for the certificate through a channel connected to NSW.<\/p>\n<p>The system checks the data and related areas before officers review the application. Once the steps are complete and the service fee is paid, the certificate and receipt are issued electronically.<\/p>\n<p>KTC can coordinate and check the information within the service scope, but system access, government procedures and approval follow the responsible authority&#8217;s rules.<\/p>\n<h2>How does the Pink Form service work?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>KTC starts by checking the shipment and documents before proceeding, so the data used for the application is as consistent as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Send shipment details<\/strong> \u2014 invoice, packing list, product details, manufacturer and destination country<\/li>\n<li><strong>Requirement check<\/strong> \u2014 confirm whether the importer or destination country specifies a Pink Form or another certificate<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document check<\/strong> \u2014 product name, manufacturer, exporter, consignee, quantity, weight and related details<\/li>\n<li><strong>Missing information<\/strong> \u2014 if anything is incomplete or inconsistent, we tell you what to correct or add<\/li>\n<li><strong>Service fee<\/strong> \u2014 once the details are assessed, we confirm the scope and cost<\/li>\n<li><strong>Application coordination<\/strong> \u2014 the Pink Form steps are carried out through the required system<\/li>\n<li><strong>Status follow-up<\/strong> \u2014 any extra information or corrections are coordinated<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-use document check<\/strong> \u2014 the certificate details are checked against the shipment before we pass it to you<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What should be checked carefully before applying?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Check that the product name, manufacturer, exporter, consignee and destination country match the shipment documents before submitting data, to reduce later corrections.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Has the importer confirmed a Pink Form is needed?<\/li>\n<li>Do the product names on the invoice and packing list match?<\/li>\n<li>Does the product name in the documents match the product actually made?<\/li>\n<li>Are the quantity and weight up to date?<\/li>\n<li>Are the factory name and address correct?<\/li>\n<li>Is the exporter name correct?<\/li>\n<li>Are the consignee name and address correct?<\/li>\n<li>Does the destination country match the shipment?<\/li>\n<li>Are MFG \/ EXP dates available, and are they needed?<\/li>\n<li>Does the importer have any extra format or requirement?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the shipment details are still changing, tell our team before we proceed, because later changes to quantity, weight, consignee, product description or other key data may affect the application or a certificate already issued.<\/p>\n<h2>Can a Pink Form replace a health certificate?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do not assume a Pink Form replaces every type of health certificate. &#8220;Health certificate&#8221; can mean several different documents, and each country may specify a different issuing authority or certificate wording.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the importer asks for a health certificate, check at least:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What the required certificate is called<\/li>\n<li>Which authority must issue it<\/li>\n<li>Whether there is a template or sample<\/li>\n<li>Whether any special wording is required<\/li>\n<li>Which products it applies to<\/li>\n<li>How it applies to the shipment or factory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seeing the words &#8220;health certificate&#8221; alone is not enough to conclude that a Pink Form is needed.<\/p>\n<h2>How is a Pink Form different from a certificate of origin or FTA form?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>A Pink Form is not a certificate of origin for tax privileges, and it does not replace FTA forms such as Form D or other proofs of origin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Pink Form certifies a disease-free food production source under the Department of Disease Control. A certificate of origin concerns where the goods originate and may be used for trade and tax privileges under the relevant agreements.<\/p>\n<p>A single shipment may therefore need both a Pink Form and a certificate of origin, or other documents, if the destination country requires them.<\/p>\n<h2>When should you start the Pink Form process?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Start checking the requirement and documents well before the export date. Do not wait until close to the cut-off, ETD or flight date to check whether a Pink Form is needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The actual time depends on how ready the information is, system registration, application review, fee payment and the Department of Disease Control&#8217;s review.<\/p>\n<p>For a new product, new factory or an exporter applying for the first time, allow extra time for data checks and additional steps before the shipment.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is the Pink Form service for?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>It suits food exporters with an actual shipment who have been told a Pink Form is required, or businesses that want their information checked before applying.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food factories or manufacturers exporting overseas<\/li>\n<li>Exporters<\/li>\n<li>Trading companies<\/li>\n<li>Businesses that have received a requirement from an importer<\/li>\n<li>Companies just starting to export food<\/li>\n<li>Exporters unsure whether their shipment needs a Pink Form<\/li>\n<li>Exporters who want the invoice and packing list checked before submitting data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about Pink Form services<\/h2>\n<h3>Does every type of food need a Pink Form?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The product type, destination country and the importer&#8217;s requirement must be checked for each shipment before proceeding.<\/p>\n<h3>Does KTC issue the Pink Form?<\/h3>\n<p>No. KTC Global Logistics checks the information and coordinates the steps. The Department of Disease Control reviews the application and issues the certificate under the relevant criteria.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I get a quote with just the invoice and packing list?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Send the invoice and packing list for an initial check. If product, factory, consignee or other details are needed, our team will tell you after reviewing them.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I ask without an HS code?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Send the product details and documents you have first. The HS code can still help identify the product and check other shipment requirements, so include it if you have it.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a Pink Form valid for every country?<\/h3>\n<p>Do not assume it is required or accepted the same way in every country. Check the importer&#8217;s and destination authority&#8217;s requirements first.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a Pink Form a health certificate?<\/h3>\n<p>Do not use the two terms interchangeably. A Pink Form has a specific name and issuing authority, while a health certificate requested by an importer may mean another type of certificate. Ask for a sample or the detailed requirement first.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a Pink Form a certificate of origin?<\/h3>\n<p>No. A Pink Form certifies a disease-free food production source. It is not a certificate of origin for tax privileges.<\/p>\n<h3>How many days does a Pink Form take?<\/h3>\n<p>There is no fixed number of days, because it depends on registration status, data completeness, application review, fee payment and the Department of Disease Control&#8217;s procedures. Send the actual shipment for checking before planning your schedule.<\/p>\n<h3>Can wrong information on a Pink Form be corrected?<\/h3>\n<p>Report any incorrect data straight away. Correction depends on the status of the application or certificate already issued and the system procedure, so check the data before submitting and before using the certificate every time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-box\">\n<h2>Request a quote for Pink Form services for food exports<\/h2>\n<p>Send the commercial invoice, packing list, product details, factory information and destination country to KTC Global Logistics for an initial check of the information and service scope before we start.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ktclogistics.co.th\/en\/contact\/\">Ask about Pink Form service fees<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"related-services\">\n<h3>Related services<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ktclogistics.co.th\/en\/services\/customs-clearance\/\">Import and export customs clearance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ktclogistics.co.th\/en\/services\/sea-freight\/\">FCL and LCL ocean freight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ktclogistics.co.th\/en\/services\/air-freight\/\">International air freight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ktclogistics.co.th\/en\/comprehensive-export-management-services\/\">Comprehensive export management services<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pink Form services for food exports help exporters check their information and coordinate the application for a certificate of disease-free food production source, when the importer, overseas buyer or destination authority requires this document for a shipment.
