3 Introduction National data Population - 52 millions Land Area - 676,578 sq.km Arable % Coastal Line km Road Length km ESCAP Membership - 19 April 1948 And also Myanmar is a member of such sub-regional networks as ASEAN, Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS), BIMSTEC, the ASEAN Mekong Basin Development Cooperation (AMBDC), the Bangladesh-China-India- Myanmar (BCIM) Economic Corridor and the Mekong-Ginga Cooperation (MGC). And also involved in the Tran-Asian Railways and Tran-Asian Highways networks.
4 Myanmar is in a geographically strategic position and has been identified as an important transport link to South and Southeast Asia. Myanmar is now regarded as a newly emerging destination for business on account of its strategic geographical location, moderate climate fit for the cultivation of various crops, huge market size, and high production output at low costs. Myanmar has recognized the importance of improving its domestic transport network, including roads that connect to the sub-regional corridors. Our country also has an extensive rail network, an important deep sea ports, and a domestic river transport network.
5 Myanmar has many proven initiatives and efforts to participate the regional framework agreements on the cross border movement of goods and people and transport facilitation as a member of regional networks. Myanmar has no bilateral and trilateral traffic rights agreements at the Regional level for the time being. Myanmar-Thai Bilateral IICBTA MoU under the GMS CBTA is yet to be signed. Myanmar possess a great potential for the enhancement of trade and transport facilitation measures under the GMS program to promote cross border movement of goods, people, services, and economic integration as well.

19 Current status of the use of SSI/SWI at the Border crossing and Customs related new technologies Current use of Single Window Inspection and Single Stop Inspection for transport facilitation at the border crossings Single Window Inspection and Single Stop Inspection; SSI/SWI was initially intended to be implemented in December However it can only be conducted after the completion of the Border Control Facilities; BCF at the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge 2. The processes for the formulation of Master Plan started in December, 2012 and completed in 2014 by the assistance of JICA. Electronic seal, RFID, Cargo Tracking System, Satellite Positioning Systems for Transport Facilitation The use of Electronic Seals were tested with 2 vehicles operating from Thai- Myanmar Border through Myawady to Mawlamyaing on and with 40 vehicles operating from Thai- Myanmar Border through Myawady to Thilawa Special Economic Zone on respectively. Currently, the Electronic Seal are not yet being used in the Country.
20 National strategies ( plans ) for transit including customs clearance Exemption from Physical Inspection, Bond Deposit, and Escort : Subject to the conditions laid down below, the cargoes carried cross border shall as a general rule be exempted from routine physical customs inspection en route, customs escorts in the national territory, and the deposit of a bond as guarantee for customs duties: Document Check and External Inspection : The motor vehicle together with the cargo and the Transit and Inland Customs Clearance Document shall be presented to the Customs Authorities en route only for processing documentation and external inspection and control of the cargo compartment. Exceptional Physical Customs Inspection : Customs Authorities may however, by way of exception and in particular when they suspect irregularities, subject the cargo to a physical inspection en route. Tracking of Vehicle / Cargo : Customs Authorities may apply appropriate measures ( e.g., electronic means. Global Positioning System, Information and Communication Technology ) to monitor the cargo movement, without interference in, delay of, or any additional requirement for the transport operation.
21 Challenges for streamlining customs formalities related to movement of goods and vehicles and suggested solutions. The following minimum services, facilities and personnel available for cargoes can be made: Cargo Inspections Hard surface areas and covered shelters from the weather condition for loading and unloading transshipment, and inspection of the cargo Warehousing facilities storage room ( including refrigerated space ) and a container deport (among other things, for storing the cargo pending the disclosure of result of sanitary or veterinary inspection or for quarantine purposes) to assure the safe storage of the merchandise without risk of damage decay, or loss Customs warehouses; plant quarantine and disinfection facilities; and staging point, allowing to rest feed, and water and if required unload and accommodate consignment of live animals and facilities for live animals isolation.
22 Challenges for streamlining customs formalities related to movement of goods and vehicles and suggested solutions Vehicles Inspections: The following minimum services facilities can be made: The personnel availibilities for vehicle repair and maintenance services Fuel station, a parking lot on hard surface and facilities for vehicles disinfection. Crew and Passenger : Facilities for the purpose of searching travelers Rest areas, sanitary equipments ( toilets ), and medical first aid. Needed Equipments : We will endeavor to keep up with technological developments and to implement at their earliest convenience. The modernized and advanced border crossing techniques such as ; machine reading of passport, X-ray machine for goods and container inspection, automatic vehicle identification ( license plate readers ), and bar code readers for other documents.
23 Challenges for the Cross- Border Crossing Less experience of Transport Operators in cross border transport Less infrastructure development and Border Control Facilities Less Capacity Building in Border Management and Formalities Less familiarity with international best practices for Cross- Border Transport Operation
24 Assistance needed Myanmar Customs is doing every possible things to build our capacity for effective and efficient implementation of the subregional bilateral road transport. To accelerate the successful implementation of the sub-regional bilateral road transport and planned initiatives on Transport Facilitation, the we would like to have external assistance in the infrastructure development, border management facilities, communications and coordination machanism concerning the prevention and control of international transmission of disease at designated Ground Crossing points, capacity building areas and consultation in the bilateral negotiation.
25 We really appreciated the efforts of UNESCAP on the Enhancing Efficiency and Effectiveness of Cross-Border transport on the Asian Highway Network project and the Handbook on the requirements for Cross-Border Transport along Asian Highway.
26 Thank you
