India has imposed tougher restrictions for its jute importers leading to exports from Bangladesh being stopped.
After getting a circular from the country’s Jute Commissioner’s Office on Saturday, Petropole port authorities did not clear any truck with jute products waiting at Bangladesh’s Benapole port to enter.
But Bangladesh authorities say they are yet to receive copy of any such order, Assistant Revenue Officer of Customs at Benapole Aminul Islam told bdnews24.com.
Meanwhile more than 100 trucks loaded with jute and jute goods have been stranded at Benapole. “A lot of exporters have instructed trucks to return from the port,” said Tipu Sultan, whose company Dhaka Trading Ltd is one of the leading jute exporters in Khulna.
Clearing and forwarding agencies at India’s Petropole port say that the new circular has instructed them to re- register with the authorities. “Every importer has a permit, but still the new circular instructed them to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Jute Commissioner’s Office every time a consignment is brought in,” Petropole Clearing Agent Welfare Association’s General Secretary Kartik Chakravarty told bdnews24.com.
