India curbs Bangladeshi exports via land ports
Bangladesh will no longer be allowed to use Indian land ports to export ready-made garments to India. A notification from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade issued in this regard on Saturday will come into immediate effect, officials here said.
The same notification has also ordered that specified commodities from Bangladesh will be prevented from entering India through the land ports of Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya and Mizoram.
“Bangladesh has recently imposed port restrictions on the import of Indian yarn via land ports, allowing our yarn exports only via sea ports. It has been decided to reciprocate this measure by imposing port restrictions on imports from Bangladesh of ready-made garments of all categories across all land ports – LCS (Land Customs Stations) and ICP (Integrated Check Posts),” said a senior official, who said that in recent months India has noticed aggressive inspection of Indian trucks on the Bangladeshi side.
