Cargo Breaking News
India has terminated the transshipment facility for Bangladesh’s export cargo, the decision was announced through a notification issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC). The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) officially stated that transshipment facility extended to Bangladesh had over a period of time resulted in significant congestion at airports and ports. “Logistical delays and higher costs were hindering our own exports and creating backlogs. The facility, therefore, has been withdrawn w.e.f. April 8, 2025. To clarify, these measures do not impact Bangladesh exports to Nepal or Bhutan transiting through Indian territory,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a statement.
