Certification chain India requires
India is a Hague Apostille Convention member — correct chain: 1) Thai MFA → 2) Apostille → 3) usable in India immediately (no embassy step)
Thailand's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention enters into force on 28 February 2027 — for member states Apostille is dramatically faster.
Regulatory references typically cited in Logistics & Customs docs: Customs Act B.E. 2560 · AEO Program · FTA Rules of Origin · Dangerous Goods Reg..
