Bhomra land port Customs Clearing & Forwarding (C & F) Agents Association general secretary SM Maksud Khan said the decision to suspend import and export between the two neighbouring countries was made after consultation with India’s Guzadanga C & F Agents Cargo Association.

Bhomra land port assistant customs commissioner Amir Mamun said around 300-350 goods laden trucks entered the port through India’s Guzadanga land port.

The government earns more than Tk 2 crore daily from this land port, said the customs official.
