Bhutan

Products produced in Bhutan can be imported through Akhaura land port

Some new products have been added to the published list. Among these are marble chips, sesame and fly ash among other products. As a result, the concerned people think that the import trade of Akhaura land port in Brahmanbaria will be strengthened. However, traders have long been seeking permission to import some more in-demand products.

However, all types of goods can be exported as before through this land port, one of the largest in the country. Akhaura land port is mainly considered as an export-oriented port. Every day various products including frozen fish, rods, cement and plastic are exported to Northeast India through this port.

Shafiqul Islam, General Secretary of Akhaura Land Port Import-Export Association said - We have received the new list of NBR. We are happy to be allowed to import products manufactured in Bhutan. NBR has allowed import of some new products. Goods can be imported from Bhutan through India's Assam. However, after reviewing which Bhutanese products are in demand in the country and how the import costs will be, we will decide when and which products to import.

If you want to know about this, the assistant director of Akhaura land port. Atiqul Islam said, the new list of importable products has not come to us yet. However, if the import of goods increases, the income of the port authority will naturally increase.
