Thailand's Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) was established as an agency under the Ministry of Commerce, Royal Thai Government, to assist Thai manufacturers and exporters in building their competitiveness and fulfilling their potential in the global market. DITP aims to provide fast, reliable, and efficient services to address the challenges and opportunities within the new world economy. Many of the products have on their label, next to Product of Thailand , an emblem, "Thailand Trust Mark" ("TTM"). This means they are from Thai manufacturers who are dutiful about producing excellent quality products that the consumer can trust. After rigorous inspection by concerned Thai government agencies, the products were awarded the right to claim this prestige emblem.

Thai Trade Center's overseas offices are located worldwide, including four in the United States : Los Angeles , New York , Chicago and Miami . DITP works closely with international trade communities, both in Thailand and abroad, to create good business relationships that would result in mutual benefit.
