Background• IICBTA MoU signing between Thailand and Myanmar is

tentatively set for end of November, 2018.

• IICBTA will go live after 1 months of signing date.

• Implementation of IIBCTA will allow 100 Thai trucks to enter Mawlamyaing (150 KM from MWD) and eventually up to Thilawa SEZ in Yangon.

• It will also allow 100 Myanmar trucks to enter Mudahan (750 KM from MWD) and eventually to BKK.

Recognizing Realities➢ Non-Physical Barriers present the most insurmountable obstacles

➢ Because of these non-physical barriers, new roads and bridges have not done as much as they might to improve market access

➢ Consequently, transport is more costly than it might otherwise be.

Confronting Challenges“Encouraging a more modern and efficient door to door transport system such as that offered by Multi Modal Transport will go a long way towards alleviating rural poverty, enhanced trade and improve the foreign exchange earnings of developing countries and countries in transition” UNCTAD

Multidimensional Approach

● Operational Factors➢ How to reduce empty backhauls➢ How to liberalize access to GMS corridors and sea ports➢ Significantly reduce trans-shipment

• Policy and regulatory environment➢ WTO, WCO, TFA, Bilateral and trilateral agreements➢ ASEAN, ASEAN-PRC FTA, RCEP, CBTA, ICBTA

• Soft and hard infrastructure➢ Identifying opportunities to adopt new technologies➢ from MACCS to NSW➢ cross border single window Interoperability

Initial Impressions• Overland transport is becoming more than just a niche market:

○ Maritime transport continues to dominate, but increased seaport congestion, time-sensitive high-technology products, and demand for perishables in PRC is forcing more traffic overland

○ Overland transport is becoming increasingly competitive with air freight

• Many challenges, few easy solutions:

○ Agreements by central governments are undermined locally

○ Discriminatory practices are reciprocated

○ Inadequate funding for infrastructure maintenance

○ Enforcement of axle load factors haphazard• Some opportunities to overcome weak trade logistics services:

○ Improve value-added activities prior to export○ Eliminate wherever possible the time-consuming, costly process of

trans-loading cargo from one vehicle to another○ Introduce schedules for vehicle processing to reduce congestion in

seaports and at border crossing points

Alternative Suggestions➢ Trailer swapping at borders as an intermediate solutions

• Reduces border handling costs and times and costs to operators

➢ Allow approved foreign vehicles to run to ICDs/Dry ports on corridors under local FF/LSP/MM transport operator/ICD operator/AEO guarantee

➢ Permit foreign vehicles to transit to regional seaports such as Laem Chabang under shipping/local FF/LSP/MM transport operator/ICD operator/AEO guarantee

➢ Allow AEOs and approved/registered Freight forwarder to provide guarantees for designated foreign-registered vehicles under their responsibility ➢ Foreign visiting trucks to have 2 drivers with FRETA or concern government approved training certificate for international operations (EU Switch program)

➢ Foreign visiting trucks to have a local representative agent nominated on paperwork to sort out any problems

Ultimate Objectives• Enhance economic corridor development to reduce the cost of transport

regionally• Reduce loss and damage of goods in transit• Minimize the time spent in transit and increase reliability of logistics• Develop value-added activities to expand employment along and around

economic corridors• Attract increased foreign investment into value-added activities• Minimize investments in unnecessary infrastructure

Way to make corridors more seamless

Step1: Manual transshipments

Step 2: Exchange of containers

Step 3: Exchange of trailers

Step 4: Free flow of trucks

SEAMLESS TRANSPORT ALONG THE ROAD

Pilot Project on Semi-Trailer Swap

Thilawar SEZ Cargo

Under Customs transport Bonded system with e-Seal

-A trailer exchange operation

requires minimal physical

infrastructure.

-It basically needs a parking lot

so trucks can park their trailers.

-At the same time, trailer

swapping eliminates the need

for a truck to wait for the relay

truck, saving several days at

some borders. Captain Aung Khin Myint 17

Issues for Guidance● Is there general agreement that vehicles from all GMS countries should be

able to travel freely within the region?● Can we contemplate allowing a vehicle from one GMS country to serve

customers within the territory of another GMS country?● How can GMS improve road maintenance management and funding and

enforce vehicle weight limits?● What is GMS doing to implement provisions of the WTO’s Trade

Facilitation Agreement?● What sort of multimodal initiatives can help optimize trade logistics

service provision?● What measures are needed to help cope with the growing pains associated

with creating conditions for increased overland trade flows?● How to create additional opportunity for private sector investment in

seaports and logistics facilities?

• Enhance communications/collaboration among different levels of ministries from both Thailand and Myanmar

• Hold B2B discussions to address the needs of businesses

Social issue● The fact finding mission observed the followings:○ Imbalance of the number of trucks from Thailand and

Myanmar side. ○ Implementation of IICBTA would cost jobs (Belief of local

transport association)○ Myanmar trucks wish to enter Thailand with empty trucks

(without having to find goods to be exported to Thailand) ○ Local associations asking for Myanmar government to provide

subsidies in order to minimize the potential negative consequences of IICBTA.

The need to improve road infrastructure

• Road conditions in Myanmar side not in line with international standards (observation by Thai truckers)

• Roads in Myanmar side very close to residential area and thus very difficult for freight transport

• Amend road laws to ensure that the rules/regulations are standardized

Interoperability readiness for BCF• Much communications/collaboration needed among

different levels of ministries

• Construction of the Friendship Bridge 2 and the BCF almost complete.

• Standardization of customs clearance procedures yet to be completed.

Cross - border level● Most documents for

processing in SW are generated across borders.

because of the Rise of regional and global products network➔ Need for further National Single Window/Paperless Trade Beyond

Borders

Rise of International Supply Chain Integration

Initiative for Better To - Be Crossborder Paperless Trade Dataexchange in the region andbeyond is needed.

Cross - border SW Interoperability

Opportunities● One country’s export declaration is another another country’s

import declaration● Time and cost efficiencies in regional integration (eg. Customs

Union)● Data accuracy, advance intelligence and processing● Extending the (national) SW benefits beyond the borders

Challenges● Aligning needs / interests● Inadequate legal framework● Difficulties of cross-border cooperation (lack of appropriate

governance structure)● Lack of necessary ICT platforms

Why do we needCross-border SW Interoperability?

Business Needs /Possible Benefits of Cross-border Information Exchange between SW’s*● for regional integration

➔ by providing measures for closer cooperation among countries in the region

➔ by promoting economic growth through regional trade● for trade facilitation

➔ by facilitating international trade transactions● for risk-analysis purposes● for advanced security declaration● for preparation of border volume● for combating illicit activities
