Bangladesh Commerce Ministry holds emergency meeting after India revokes transshipment facility

Dhaka/New Delhi, Apr 10 (UNI) The Bangladesh Ministry of Commerce held an emergency meeting in Dhaka after India withdrew its trans-shipment facility that allowed Bangladesh to export its goods to third countries such as Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar via its land routes.
The emergency, held at the office of the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) in Karwan Bazar, Dhaka, on Wednesday, was attended by key business leaders and senior representatives from the country’s Ministry of Commerce, the Dhaka Tribune reported.
India’s Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has withdrawn with immediate effect, a directive issued on June 29, 2020 which allowed Bangladesh to export goods to third countries using one of India's customs stations. Under this facility, goods could be transported to third countries via Indian ports by land, sea, or air.
