Myanmar is not a party to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) nor does it have observer status.

In July 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Myanmar issued Notification 1/2019 which announced that foreign entities and individuals are permitted to invest in the shares in Myanmar companies listed on the Yangon Stock Exchange (YSX). However, ownership is restricted to maximum 35% of shares as with shares above this percentages companies are designated as “foreign” under the Myanmar Companies Law (2017). As of March 2020, six companies are listed on the exchange. TMH Telecom Public Co., Ltd. (TMH) is listed on the stock exchange. TMH started its business operations in 2007 and focused on manufacturing quality automatic telephone exchanges, fiber construction and maintenance, and broadband internet service operations among other things.

It is reported that the government of Myanmar had continued to negotiate and execute lease agreements without first going through a tender process above the threshold of Ks 10 million (USD 5,560) prescribed in Art. 10 of the Presidential Directive No. 1/2017, above which public tenders would be required. As a result, it is reported that Myanmar does not yet benefit of a transparent, predictable, and effective regulatory framework for public procurement.
Concerns have also been raised by businesses about the inconsistent disclosure of project specifications (e.g., construction drawings) to give specific businesses an edge during tender evaluations, therefore affecting the transparency, fairness, and the integrity of the public procurement system.

Art. 28 of the Presidential Directive No. 1/2017 mandates that the Tender Acceptance and Evaluation Committee shall evaluate each of the technical proposals for public procurement in accordance with some standards, including the inclusion of local experts among the senior experts for the tasks to be assigned.

Myanmar is not a signatory of the 1996 World Trade Organization (WTO) Information Technology Agreement (ITA) nor the 2015 expansion (ITA II).

Mexico has adopted national legislation based on or influenced by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Signatures.

The Federal Law of Protection to the Consumer provides a comprehensive consumer protection framework that applies to online transactions. Art. 1, number VIII, enshrines consumer protection in digital transactions as a fundamental principle. Chapter VIII BIS of this law states the consumer rights in transactions by means of electronic, optical, and other technologies. In addition, the Code of Commerce allows the use and validity of electronic signatures (whether a simple electronic signature or advanced electronic signature) in any type of commercial transactions and consumer transactions. Furthermore, the Federal Civil Code also establishes that if express consent is required, this can be expressed by electronic means or by any other technology.

Mexico has not signed the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts.

It is reported that the de minimis threshold, that is the minimum value of goods below which customs do not charge duties, is USD 50, below the 200 USD threshold recommended by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).

It is reported that the consolidation of express shipments over USD 300 is restricted and Mexico continues to limit the number of shipments that may be delivered to a single recipient per month, which is reported to restrict electronic commerce. Express delivery providers must also re-register to operate in Mexico every two years. There are complaints from foreign companies about the fact that Mexico's Tax Administration Service (SAT) has not instituted a periodic payment option for express delivery shipments.

In February 2020, Mexico’s Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT) published new guidelines pursuant to Technical Provision IFT-012-2019 that have been reported to pose a significant barrier to trade for mobile telecommunications products. These guidelines came into effect in February of 2021, and it is reported that they restrict sales from companies and delay time to market by requiring in-country testing for Specific Absorption Rates (SAR). It is also reported that these testing requirements refer to out-of-date standards instead of recent guidance from the IEC/IEEE and ICNIRP. These requirements also lack the normal clauses exempting retroactive compliance, raising the specter that not only would new products require testing but also all existing products would require testing.
Currently, there are only two accredited laboratories for SAR testing, which creates bottlenecks for testing new products and may cause time-to-market delays. The industry has repeatedly asked the IFT to accept interim certificates and/or international test reports until the testing laboratory infrastructure is sufficiently established and robust in the country.

It is reported that conformity procedures of the Agreement whereby the Plenary of the Federal Telecommunications Institute issues the Conformity Assessment Procedure for Telecommunications and Broadcasting contain worrying language requiring the sharing of test reports that may contain in-depth confidential information about ICT products.

According to Art. 289 of the Federal Telecommunications Law, unless there is a Mutual Recognition in place in place, all the products destined for telecommunications that are going to be plugged into a telecommunications network or use the radioelectric spectrum must be homologated pursuant to the Mexican legal order.

Chapter IX of the DOF: 07/03/2016 establishes that when the Federal Institute of Telecommunications recognizes a foreign testing laboratory under a Mutual Recognition Agreement, it will accept the testing under the procedures contained in the agreement, to simplify the assessment of conformity of infrastructure and telecommunications and broadcasting products.
