Shipping label for Myanmar
A generator that already knows how Myanmar wants an address written. Fill in the recipient, print at 100 × 150 mm, and the locality lines come out in the order Myanma Posts expects.
How addresses are written in Myanmar
Recipient name first, then the street line, then the locality. In Myanmar the locality line reads: City then postal code, on the same line.

Local addresses in Myanmar are written in a non-Latin script. For an inbound international parcel, put the address in the Latin alphabet: the exporting post office has to read it to route the item, and the delivery office can read both. Adding the local-script version underneath does no harm and often helps the courier on the last leg.
Worked example: a parcel arriving in Yangon
Sarah Whitfield 27 Weaver Street YANGON 11181 MYANMAR
The last line is the destination country in English capitals. It only appears on parcels crossing a border, and it is there so the exporting post office can sort the item without reading the local script.
Myanmar uses postal codes. A valid one looks like 11181, the code for Yangon.
The national postal operator is Myanma Posts.

Customs status
Myanmar is outside the EU customs union, so every parcel arriving from abroad needs a customs declaration. Below roughly 300 SDR in value that is the CN22, printed on the label itself; above it, a CN23 on a separate sheet.
Sending to Myanmar from abroad
Two things change once the parcel crosses a border. The last address line must read MYANMAR in Latin capitals, and a customs declaration becomes mandatory. Below roughly 300 SDR in value that is the CN22, small enough to print on the label itself, and it is added as soon as your sender country is not Myanmar. Above that threshold, or where the destination customs office asks for it, you need the larger CN23 on a separate sheet.
Sending inside Myanmar
For a domestic parcel, drop the country line and skip the customs block entirely. The label keeps the sender block, the recipient block, weight, piece count and the reference barcode, which is all a courier or a pickup point needs to route it.
Straight answers · Myanmar
What this does, and what it does not
Is this an official postal label for Myanmar?
No, and no website can produce one. An official label from Myanma Posts or from a courier carries a tracking number issued against your account with them. This is an address and handling label: it puts the recipient in the right format, states the weight and pieces, and carries your own order reference as a barcode. Print it, tape it to the box, and add the carrier’s tracking label beside it at drop-off.
Which address format does Myanmar use?
The locality line reads: City then postal code, on the same line. Labelbench applies that automatically the moment you pick Myanmar as the destination, so you do not have to remember whether the postal code comes before or after the city.
Do I need a customs form for Myanmar?
Only if the parcel starts in a different country. Domestic shipments inside Myanmar need no customs paperwork. For inbound international parcels, a CN22 is required below roughly 300 SDR and is added to the label automatically; heavier or more valuable consignments need a CN23 on a separate sheet.
Does a parcel sent to Myanmar need a customs form?
Myanmar is outside the EU customs union, so every parcel arriving from abroad needs a customs declaration. Below roughly 300 SDR in value that is the CN22, printed on the label itself; above it, a CN23 on a separate sheet.
Can I write the address in a non-Latin script?
Local addresses in Myanmar are written in a non-Latin script. For an inbound international parcel, put the address in the Latin alphabet: the exporting post office has to read it to route the item, and the delivery office can read both.
