Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to
Myanmar
.
Myanmar has effectively no tax-free threshold for courier shipments. When your package arrives, you'll typically pay Customs Duty (0-40% based on product type), Commercial Tax (5%), and Advance Income Tax (2%), plus carrier handling fees. Myanmar Customs Department collects these charges on the total value including shipping costs. Final amounts are determined by Myanmar Customs and your carrier.
