Doing Business in the USA
Though products of Burmese origin had been banned from entry into the United States in the past, on November 16, 2012, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued General License No. 18, which allows the importation into the United States of any article that is a product of Burma, with the exception of jadeite or rubies mined or extracted from Burma, or of articles of jewelry containing jadeite or rubies mined or extracted from Burma.
