400 Nepali Cargo Containers Stuck at Kolkata Port
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

February 3: The protest of clearing agents in Kolkata has disrupted the movement of containers as the Nepal-bound cargo shipments have been stranded at the Kolkota Port. The customs house agents (CHAs) which have been working as the representatives of Nepali importers have halted the movement of shipments, which has resulted in this crisis.

Following the decision of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) of India to apply electronic tracking system (ETS) on the containers of Nepali importers at the Kolkata Port, the clearing agents have started protest programs expressing dissatisfaction over the decision. CHAs started protests from Tuesday upon the call from the Nepal-India Customs House Agent Association.

After the provision is implemented, the agents are not required at the port.

More than 400 containers are stuck at the Kolkata Port. A total of 70 to 80 containers come to Nepal via Kolkata Port every day.
