In 2026, the upgraded China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Protocol will continue to implement tiered tariff reductions. The agreed tariffs on professional stage lighting, LED large screens, digital audio systems, and performance control systems will be further reduced. Customs documents will be simplified, and cross-border logistics efficiency will be improved by 30%. Thailand, located at the geographical center of ASEAN, serves as a natural regional distribution hub. After Chinese equipment enters Thailand, it can be quickly distributed to all ASEAN countries including Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar. Exhibiting companies can leverage this Thai exhibition to set up overseas warehouses in ASEAN and establish regional general agents.
