Nepal duty rule hits Rupaidiha border trade, stalls India-Nepal daily shopping

Описание: Trade and daily movement at the India-Nepal border in Rupaidiha have been disrupted after Nepal imposed customs duty on goods worth over 100 Nepali rupees. The new rule has tightened checks at border points, affecting traders, commuters, and local businesses dependent on cross-border shopping. Traders say the market, which largely serves Nepali customers, has seen a sharp decline in sales and rising uncertainty. Nepali citizens also report higher costs on everyday items due to added taxes, while some Indian workers say goods are being returned or taxed heavily. Locals are now calling for relief measures and reconsideration of the restrictions to ease hardship along the border.
