The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, has imposed port restrictions on the import of certain goods such as readymade garments, processed food items etc., from Bangladesh to India. This move is in response to similar curbs placed by Dhaka on certain Indian products last month.
However, such said port restriction will not apply to Bangladesh goods transiting through India but destined for Nepal and Bhutan. According to a notification of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, import of all kinds of readymade garments from Bangladesh shall not be allowed from any land port, however, it is allowed only through Nhava Sheva and Kolkata seaports.
Besides, import of fruit/ fruit flavoured and carbonated drinks; processed food items; cotton and cotton yarn waste; plastic and PVC finished goods, except pigments, dyes, plasticisers and granules that form input for own industries; and wooden furniture, shall not be allowed through any Land Customs Stations (LCSs)/ Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram; and LCS Changrabandha and Fulbari, in West Bengal. DGFT also noted that the port restrictions do not apply to the import of fish, LPG, edible oil, and crushed stone from Bangladesh.
