Getting it to Nepal
Landlocked, so produce goes by truck across the open India–Nepal border.
- Entry: Birgunj (from Raxaul, India)
- Entry: Bhairahawa (from Sunauli, India)
We quote on Ex Works (EXW) and Free On Board (FOB): our responsibility ends at the Indian port or border point, and the onward leg is the buyer's. Import clearance in Nepal is regulated by the Plant Quarantine and Pesticide Management Centre (PQPMC).
