Nepal Imposes 80% Customs Duty on Indian Goods, Impacts Border Trade

Nepal's new government under Balendra Shah has enforced stricter customs duties up to 80% on goods worth over Nepali Rs 100 (about Rs 63) purchased from Indian border markets. This has significantly reduced Nepali shoppers in bazaars from Dharchula to Darjeeling. The policy aims to boost local economy and curb cross-border smuggling. Indian traders report sharp decline in footfall and sales. Diplomatic discussions may follow to address trade imbalances.
