To domestic and international destinations.
To handle this
it needs some real expertise since
considering all the 200 year old regulations
in the country concerning shipping can be a
real trap to loose plenty of money. Here is
some information on forwarding, transport,
by train, truck, air freight,
container and heavy project mover.
You will run
into serious problems if you select the
wrong agent for moving your goods. Before you do the
container, bulk or other ask
some companies to make you a quote for the project.
In general use a international shipping
forwarding company, they might be a little
bit more expensive with their rates than but
you
|
|
|
you get a real door to door service. Insist
that when doing a shipping rate calculation they
includes all charges except taxes naturally
and have this in written form.
The
reason is on this planet there are a lot of
crooks who just wait to pull money from
you. A typical example are exotic
destinations for international destinations lets
say to Nigeria, Indonesia, Thailand and many
other destinations. In this countries many
of the freight - customs agents work
together with the local authorities to
extort money from you, like making double
invoicing, charge services which never
happen or say they must give "tea money".
If you are not
with a international knowledgeable shipping
forwarding company who has their own staff
there who can handle this you will be a

victim of
blackmail. Maybe because once your goods
arrived in the custom warehouse every
day in the custom warehouse costs
money - after a very short grace period
- that means if you have a dispute for
your shipping forwarding company you are
on the loosing end.
As a matter of fact this also happens
in Europe, for example it happen to me
when I shipped goods from Yangon to
central Europe. They will tell you
the goods must be transported now from
the storage after the ship unload. Now to get it onto the truck, this costs
money and unless you don't pay for this
the goods wont be moved. If you tell
them you paid for door to door they tell
you, this is not included and so on.

Actually
I have a very good experience with
shipping via Scandinavia, the people
are honest and very efficient. With a
knowledgeable international forwarder
negative experiences with Myanmar transports
of anything this might not be
happen, |
 |
because the
person lets say in Rotterdam or New York
is a employee of the same company, that
means they are
somehow under control. A other problem
is the corruption at the local side.
Primary goods to be

As
everywhere in the world primary
export and import is handled by
train,
ship
and
truck
via
container,
your shipping agent will handle
this. The train and road system is
very rotten, not much has been done
since colonial times everything goes
quite slow quite a lot of ancient
regulations and a slow bureaucracy
also wont speed up things. This is a
old country on the way to recovery
which takes at least one or two
decades. |
