Prior declaration of customs documents is allowed if a shipment contains a variety of goods, requires rapid processing during particular seasons (e.g. during the harvest season and New Year), or requires special storage facilities. Simplified procedures for customs declaration, requiring fewer documents, are also available where goods enter or leave customs bonded zones or customs special zones directly from or for abroad. Accelerated procedures are applicable for certain hazardous goods, blood and blood products, and donors' organs to be used for treatment purposes; customs clearance is on the basis of ex-post completion of customs declaration forms. Businesses and individuals permitted for accelerated procedures are allowed to pay customs duties and other taxes prior to the clearance. Examination must be completed within eight working hours for dangerous goods requiring special treatment (e.g. uranium and highly toxic chemical substances) or animals.

(…) As regards forestry, it is also critical that timber and other forest products be extracted sustainably with proper technology. Therefore, the GOM (Government of Myanmar) will encourage better use of new technology and foreign investment in processing value-added forest products for future exports. It will also promote participatory projects of community forestry in the previously deforested areas while strengthening laws and regulations in prohibiting encroachment in the protected forest areas. The GOM will also consider promoting eco-tourism services in the designated areas.
