Why us
Why purchase through OZTA
Thailand is a rich market with a language barrier. We resolve issues of payments, documentation and logistics.
SWIFT in USD - standard for Thailand
Thai exporters operate in USD. We transfer through a correspondent bank - the money arrives in 2-3 business days.
Phytosanitary certificates for products
Rice, spices, and seafood require a phytosanitary and veterinary certificate. We help the supplier arrange everything correctly for the EAEU.
Agents in Bangkok
The Thai language is a serious barrier. Our partners in Bangkok negotiate with manufacturers directly.
Two routes - sea and air
For rice and raw materials - the sea via Vladivostok. For electronics and spare parts - air. We calculate both options before ordering.
Food and industrial raw materials
We work with both consumer goods and industrial raw materials - rubber, tapioca, palm oil for production.
We know TARIC and HS code standards
Correct classification of rice, rubber and seafood is critical for customs. We know the necessary codes and documents.
