Chemicals shipped to Myanmar

Chemical demand in Myanmar is concentrated around Yangon, where the Thilawa SEZ and Hlaing Tharyar industrial zone host garment and textile factories, generic pharmaceutical producers and food processors. Agriculture drives purchases of fertiliser inputs and agrochemicals, mining needs reagents and inorganics, and Mandalay and Bago have smaller industrial clusters. Pharmaceutical buyers import APIs and laboratory reagents, often in modest quantities. Zemixal ships from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Yangon's Thilawa or Asia World Port terminals, typically in 14–24 days, with Sittwe as a secondary port. Air cargo to Yangon or Mandalay takes roughly 3–6 days. Because some Myanmar entities are subject to international sanctions, Zemixal screens buyers and end users before accepting any order. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS, and AITIGA certificates of origin are available.

Importing chemicals into Myanmar

Hazardous chemicals are regulated under the Chemical and Related Substances Hazard Prevention Law, and importers generally need a registration or licence from the Ministry of Industry. Many goods also require a Ministry of Commerce import licence. Medicines and APIs need registration with the Department of Food and Drug Administration, and precursors are subject to narcotics-control permits. Buyers and end users are screened against sanctions lists before an order is accepted. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and AITIGA preference requires a certificate of origin.

Questions

Shipping to Myanmar

What screening do you carry out before accepting a Myanmar order?
We check the buyer, consignee and stated end user against applicable sanctions lists before quoting. Please provide full company details and the intended use of the products with your enquiry. Orders that cannot be cleared through screening are declined, whatever the product or quantity.
Which documents does a Myanmar importer need?
Expect a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, certificate of origin, COA and 16-section GHS SDS. Add the Ministry of Commerce import licence, Ministry of Industry chemical registration, FDA approval for APIs and a dangerous goods declaration where relevant.
Can small lab orders be sent to Yangon?
Yes. Lab reagents and reference standards can travel by courier or air to Yangon in about 3–6 days, once screening and import licences are in place. Use the quote panel to add products from any page and send them as one enquiry.
