In 2012, Myanmar began to reform its non-automatic import licensing regime. Previously,
importers of all merchandise required a non-automatic import licence before import, and it took
several weeks to obtain an import licence. In April 2013, import licensing requirements for
166 products (over 1,928 tariff lines at the HS eight-digit level) were abolished. Myanmar does not
impose tariff-rate quotas. Myanmar has not made a notification regarding its state-trading
activities to the WTO
