<h1>India restricts jute imports from Bangladesh to single port citing dumping and unfair trade practices</h1> India has imposed immediate restrictions on jute and allied fiber product imports from Bangladesh, limiting entry to only Nhava Sheva seaport in Maharashtra. The restrictions respond to alleged dumping, subsidized imports, and unfair trade practices including mislabeling and misdeclaration by exporters. Despite existing anti-dumping duties, imports continued adversely affecting the domestic jute industry. The government cited evidence of state subsidies benefiting exports and circumvention of duties through technical exemptions. The measure aims to counter unfair practices, promote self-reliance, and protect rural livelihoods dependent on domestic jute production while preventing routing through third countries.
