The LHD Shift: Navigating the Myanmar Market
Why Compliance is Key for Myanmar Imports?
Myanmar’s automotive landscape has undergone a massive transformation. To align with right-hand traffic flow, the government now strictly enforces LHD-only imports. While Japanese RHD cars were once common, the market has shifted toward Japanese-brand LHD models (often sourced from LHD markets) and a rapidly growing Electric Vehicle sector. Understanding the specific “Year of Manufacture” requirements is vital, as arriving with an “over-aged” vehicle can lead to immediate seizure at the port.

Duty & Tax Framework:
Myanmar has significantly reduced tariffs on CBU (Completely Built-Up) units for 2026.
| Vehicle Type | CBU Duty Rate | Commercial Tax | Registration Fee |
| Electric Vehicles (BEV) | 0% | Exempt | Reduced |
| Passenger Cars (<2000cc) | 0% | 5% – 25% | Based on Engine CC |
| Passenger Cars (>2001cc) | 0% | 30% – 50% | High-Tier Fee |
Critical Note: While Import Duty is currently 0% for many CBU units, the Commercial Tax and Registration Fees remain the primary costs, scaling sharply with engine size.
Before the Car Leaves Japan
- Verification: Confirm the vehicle is LHD and meets the 2025–2026 year limit.
- License Application: Apply for an Import License via the Department of Trade (valid for 180 days).
- Shipment: Most cars are shipped to Yangon Port or Thilawa Port via Singapore or direct LHD shipping routes.
- Customs Declaration: Your agent submits the declaration through the MACCS (Myanmar Automatic Cargo Clearance System).
- Duty Payment: Pay the Commercial Tax and any applicable Special Consumption Taxes (SCT).
- RTAD Registration: Complete the final registration with the Road Transport Administration Department to get your “YGN” or regional plates
Nexuss Pro-Tips for 2026
- Check the “Year” Twice: For 2026, ensure your passenger car was manufactured in 2025 or 2026. Customs is unforgiving on “Year of Manufacture” discrepancies.
- EV Advantage: Take advantage of the 2026 pilot project—EVs currently enjoy the lowest total “landed cost” due to tax exemptions.
- Broker Network: Use a broker familiar with the Myanmar Tradenet 2.0 system to avoid license cancellation.
