It is reported that Aluminum scrap is being purchased for reproducing finished products by melting it.
In addition, fishery products are being shipped to Bangkok through Mae Sot. Priority is given to the quick arrival of fishery products to the other country, through the trade route, the trade zone and the BCF Bridge II. In the same way, green products such as onions, chilli pepper and cabbage are exported through the trade zone.
Cotton rolls, construction materials, industrial raw materials, pharmaceutical products, motorcycle spare parts, shoes, ready-made garments, fruits, foodstuffs, cosmetics, shoe accessories, gas, lubricant, household appliances, animal feed, bikes, stationery, motorcar spare parts and electrical equipment are being imported to Myanmar.
Most imported items are garments, ceramic tile, foodstuffs, household appliances, animal feed, paint, factory equipment, industrial raw materials and cosmetics.
It is reported that importers and traders are importing the products with caution, due to the price changes in Thai Baht earlier this month. — NN/CT
