<h1>India bans jute product imports via land borders, allowing only Nhava Sheva seaport entry under new trade rules</h1> India has expanded its ban on imports of certain jute products from Bangladesh via all land border points, permitting such imports only through the Nhava Sheva seaport. The prohibited items now include bleached and unbleached woven fabrics of jute or other bast fibers, twine, cordage, rope, sacks, and bags of jute. This follows earlier restrictions imposed since June on similar products and other goods, reflecting escalating trade tensions linked to political disagreements between the two countries. Additional measures include restrictions on ready-made garments, processed foods, and withdrawal of transshipment facilities for exports to third countries. These trade barriers have been implemented in response to controversial statements by Bangladesh's interim government leader and concerns over minority attacks, significantly impacting bilateral trade relations and competition in the textile sector.
