Fresh Fruit → Myanmar

Fresh Fruit is restricted for travelers entering Myanmar; declare above the personal allowance.

Details

Fresh Fruit requires declaration at customs (and in some cases an import permit) when carried by travelers into Myanmar. Myanmar Customs Department applies a personal-allowance threshold per item category; quantities above attract duty + the destination's VAT/GST rate (5%) plus, for select categories, an additional excise tax. ASEAN AFTA / RCEP preferential treatment for member-state goods. Cultural-property export rules vary sharply by destination. Travelers should consult Myanmar Customs Department for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.

Leaving with this item

Fresh fruit for personal consumption may face export limits from Myanmar for phytosanitary reasons; commercial quantities require a Phytosanitary Certificate.

Practical advice

Carry Fresh Fruit in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. Myanmar Customs Department computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
