DFDL Myanmar Legal Update: Myanmar Issues New Export and Import Compliance Procedures

On 6 July 2026, Myanmar’s Ministry of Finance and Revenue issued a new notification on Export and Import Compliance Procedures (the “Procedures”), replacing a series of notifications that had been in place since 2017.

The Procedures introduce the compliance regime and introduce more detailed, commodity-specific penalties, clearer fine bands, and stricter timing consequences for import and export violations. Business moves goods in or out of Myanmar should review current and in-transit shipments now, as several changes create direct financial and confiscation risk.
