Shop from USA to Myanmar: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from USA to Myanmar through Amaboxly in three ways: order an item already listed in our shop, ask us to buy it for you, or buy it yourself and have us forward the parcel. This guide covers what each route costs, how long to plan for, and what to expect at customs.

What a delivered price to Myanmar is made of

Prices on amaboxly.com can be shown in MMK as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final kyat amount can differ slightly.

Any duty or tax charged in Myanmar is on top of all three and is the buyer’s to pay.

Forwarding freight to Myanmar uses our standard worldwide air rate, which is twice the Malaysia per-kg tier on the shipping fees page. Two worked examples:

• 1 kg: Malaysia tier USD 36.00 x 2 = USD 72.00.
• 10 kg: Malaysia tier USD 11.50 x 2 = USD 23.00 per kg, then x 10 kg = USD 230.00.

Billed weight is the higher of actual and dimensional weight. A 20 x 14 x 10 inch box works out to 2,800 / 166 = 16.87 lb, then x 0.4536 = about 7.65 kg, so it uses the 8 kg row even if the contents weigh 3 kg. The minimum is 1 kg per box.

Door delivery, import or clearance charges and any services are confirmed separately in your quote. The calculator on that page estimates Malaysia shipments only, so ask us for a Myanmar quote before you buy.

Three ways to shop from USA to Myanmar

If the item is already on amaboxly.com, order it from the product page. Each page shows whether it is Ready Stock Malaysia, Ready Stock USA or Pre-Order. Items in the Pre-Order category are bought from the US store after you order.

If it is sold by another US store, use Buy for me. Send the exact product link through your Forwarding account (My Account, Forwarding, choose "Buy for me"). We review availability, eligibility and purchase details, then place and pay for the retailer order after you pay our payment request. Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed.

If you can check out at the US store yourself, use parcel forwarding. Choose "I bought something", get the complete receiving address and suite from us before checkout, keep your receipt and tracking number, then declare the parcel with accurate contents and paid value. You review the quote before authorizing shipment.

Our US base is in New Hampshire, which has no general state sales tax. That can benefit eligible purchases delivered to the confirmed New Hampshire receiving address. It does not remove Myanmar’s import duties, taxes or clearance charges.

What to check before you buy

Routes outside Malaysia need a destination-specific quote before buying or shipping. A listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted, so send us your Myanmar delivery address along with the product link.

Ask first if your order includes any of these, because they need extra review: batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, items with radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, and bulky household items.

A Buy for me request should include the exact URL, product name, size, colour, quantity, store price and a cart or product-page screenshot. A promo code is not assumed valid until the retailer confirms it.

We do not sell freight insurance, and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover. Glass, ceramics and liquids travel at your risk, though you can arrange cover elsewhere.

Timing, deposit and balance through the Malaysia hub

Pre-Order and Ready Stock USA items take about 30 days from the order date. That is an estimate, and peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days. Pre-orders are usually bought within 1 to 3 business days of the order.

A 50% deposit is offered on Pre-Order items only. On the product page, choose the colour, choose "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. Cart and checkout show what you pay today and the balance due later.

Myanmar orders go through our Malaysia hub, so the balance is due when the item arrives in Myanmar. The payment link comes by email and WhatsApp, and you can pay without logging in. The item ships once the balance is paid.

For forwarded parcels, plan on about 30 days by air freight and confirm departure, arrival and local delivery timing with us.

Customs and the Myanmar Customs Department

Imports are assessed by the Myanmar Customs Department. In general, a parcel travels with a declared value and description, receipts support that value, and the buyer pays any duty or tax assessed.

Those charges are set by Myanmar and are not included in our prices or delivery fees. We declare the accurate item value on customs forms, and for forwarded parcels you must give us an accurate declaration and receipt.

We do not quote Myanmar duty rates or thresholds. Check the Myanmar Customs Department’s current guidance for your item before ordering.

Returns and cancellations

Shop orders can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including change of mind. Change-of-mind returns must be in new condition, a 10% restocking fee of the total amount paid for the order applies, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. Contact us before sending anything back; the full terms are on the refund and returns page.

You can cancel a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item any time before delivery. A 10% processing fee is deducted, payment gateway fees are not refunded, and the rest (including the deposit) is refunded the way you paid.

Buy for me requests are free to cancel while Submitted or Information needed. Once the item has been bought, the charge is USD 35 per checkout. Sending a forwarded parcel back to a US seller costs a per-package handling fee plus a return label you pay for, as a PDF or JPG.
