-Required documents including Import Recommendation from FDA.
1.To apply for an import license, the importer (or a representative) can submit an online application via Myanmar Trade Net at the PAC of the MOC. All documents required for the application are also submitted to the PAC. Those documents are: - Cover letter - Sales contract (original) or pro-forma invoice (original) - Statement of usage - FDA import recommendation - Health certificate from the exporting country - Representative card 2.The application and required documents are then reviewed by representatives of the MOC for their accuracy and completeness. If the documents are complete and accurate, an e-payment order is issued to make the payment at the MCB. 3.Once the importer completed the payment, the bank notifies the MOC of the receipt of the money. 4.As soon as the MOC receives the payment notification, it issues a hard copy of the online application submitted to the PAC and makes it available to the importer, who in turn, brings the documents to the Import section of the MOC located in Nay Pyi Taw. The Import section assesses the current market price of the products, based on records of the Myanmar Edible Oil Association, to minimize undervaluation and duty fraud by the importer. The Myanmar Edible Oil Association sends therefore market prices twice a week to the respective section. 5. If no objections, the importer pays the Import License fees via e-payment. 6. Once the MOC receives notification about the payment from MCB, the Import section will issue the Import License. The Import License can then be collected by the importer (or a representative).
Importer (or representative) receives the Import License.
