Nepali Importers Troubled by Additional Transportation Cost at ICP
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

August 20: Nepali importers have been burdened with additional transportation expenses at the Nepal-India Integrated Check Post (ICP) due to lack of their own warehouse at the newly built facility.

The importers complain that they are forced to pay additional amount to transport the goods downloaded at Raxaul to the ICP. Earlier, they used to drop the goods at Birgunj- Raxaul border point but they now have to take the goods to the ICP for customs clearance. However, the transport companies do not have their own warehouse at the ICP neither do the importers.

The importers are facing problem due to the lack of warehouse.

Most of the import-export through Birgunj have to pass through the ICP. Only the petroleum products, clinker and coal enter the country through Inarwa transit point, says customs official Ramesh Sukmani.

Importer Suresh Rungata says that they are forced to load the goods that arrive at Raxaul and take them to the ICP. Most of the transport companies have ware house at Raxaul.

Birgunj is just one kilometer away from Raxaul but the ICP is 20 kilometers away.
