Burma Removes Import License Requirements From Certain Products

Burma recently reduced its list of products that need an import license, removing the requirement from 689 tariff lines, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service reported Dec. 9. Those goods span a range of agricultural products, including buttermilk and cream, whey, butter, certain sausages, certain fish, certain waters and coffee-based drinks and certain “non-aerated beverages.” Despite the license requirement removals, USDA stressed that more than 3,900 tariff lines, including the “majority” of U.S. agricultural exports to Burma, still require a license.
