Export to Nepal

[Guru Murthy]

Dear all,

We have exported our products to Nepal under ARE.1 and export invoice. We have not received Original and duplicate copies of ARE.1 for filing proof of export with our Jurisidictional authority.My question is

1) Should we have to submit original & duplicate copies of ARE1 for filing proof of export?.

2) who is going to sign ARE.1 copies at the border?

3) In case of non receipt of ARE.1 Copies, should we have to pay duty involved in the transaction?

If any body who has exported goods to Nepal, please clarify my points.

Thanks & Regards

Gurumurthy
