January 24: India has agreed to remove the hassles of paperwork for goods imported to Nepal from third countries via Kolkata port. This new provision will come into effect from February 15 for goods to be transported through train, according to government sources.

Rabi Shankar Sainju, joint secretary at the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies, said that the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) of India has agreed to provide this facility to Nepal-bound goods. He said that the CBIC officials officially informed the ministry regarding this decision on Wednesday, January 23.

“CBIC has already issued such directive and the Kolkata Customs Office will issue the notice within a few days,” he told NBA.

According to the ministry, it will be implemented in the transportation of goods through railway in the first phase. There are plans of implementing the same system for the transportation of goods through road as well. Nepal had demanded the removal of paperwork while importing goods as Kolkata port is used only as a transit point.
