All border checkpoints will be issued individual trading cards (ITCs) starting April 22 for the small traders conduct their trade accodingly and legally.

The border trade department has issued only in Tamu, Muse, Myawaddy and Tarchileik border checkpoints before April 22 and the small traders issued ITCs worth of about 600 million kyats.

The ITCs start in November 2012 and most traders registered at Tamu and Muse border checkpoints.

“The department has issued only four border checkpoints recently but now we will be issued the ITCs in all border checkpoints by April 22,” said Nyunt Aung, Deputy Director General of Border Trade Department under the Ministry of Commerce.
