New Delhi, May 17 (PTI) India on Saturday imposed port restrictions on the import of certain goods, such as readymade garments and processed food items, from Bangladesh.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the Commerce Ministry, has issued a notification in this regard.

The notification imposes "port restrictions on the import of certain goods such as readymade garments, processed food items etc., from Bangladesh to India," the ministry said.

However, such port restrictions will not apply on Bangladeshi goods transiting through India but destined for Nepal and Bhutan, it added. PTI RR MR

Port restrictions on imports limit entry of certain Bangladeshi garments and food but exempt transit to Nepal and Bhutan. Imposition of port restrictions on imports from Bangladesh limits entry of specified categories, notably readymade garments and processed food items, by applying port-level controls via a Commerce Ministry trade notification. The restriction excludes Bangladeshi goods transiting through India en route to Nepal and Bhutan, preserving the transit regime for such consignments.
