Export Cars from Japan to Myanmar

Important 2026 update: Myanmar now requires left-hand-drive vehicles and recent model years only.

Myanmar changed its import policy significantly. Under current rules, only left-hand-drive passenger cars may be imported — right-hand-drive imports are no longer permitted — and only very recent model years qualify.

We give you honest, up-to-date guidance and help source eligible left-hand-drive stock, rather than shipping cars that cannot be registered.

Current import rules (2026)

The key restrictions for Myanmar:

  • Left-hand drive only — RHD passenger-car imports are not permitted
  • Eligible model years differ for passenger cars and trucks/vans and change annually; confirm the current requirement before purchase
  • An import permit from the Ministry of Commerce is required per vehicle
  • Duty is charged by engine size and vehicle type on CIF value
  • Main ports: Yangon and Thilawa

What this means for buyers

Because Japan mainly produces right-hand-drive cars, eligible left-hand-drive stock for Myanmar is limited. We will confirm availability and the exact model-year rule before you commit, so you never pay for a car that cannot clear customs.

How we help

We track the current Myanmar rules, source eligible vehicles where possible, prepare full export documentation, and arrange shipping to Yangon or Thilawa.
