Export/Import and related permits can be applied online via Myanmar Trade Net 2.0 and security systems are in place to protect the user and applicants, said U Min Min, Director General at the Ministry of Commerce.

“There is no contact between business people and departments at all. We have also planned to improve the security (of the system)”, said deputy director U Myo Khaing Win.

For the application of special permits, the system does not allow and will still have to be applied in person. There are currently 3,430 people registered with Myanmar Trade Net 2.0. A total of 756 cards related to export and import and 1,617 import permits have been processed with the online system.
