Burma - Import Tariffs Burma - Import Tariffs
The government can levy three types of taxes on imports: import duties, commercial taxes, license fees. The Custom Department bases valuation on the customs, insurance and freight (CIF) value. For some commodities, the Customs Department uses its own reference guide to determine the value of imports. The guide lists prices in kyat based on the price of these goods in Myanmar, sometimes substantially lower or higher than their value outside Myanmar.
