India restricts Bangladesh garment imports to Kolkata, Mumbai seaports, curbs Northeast land ports

  • On Saturday, New Delhi restricted imports of ready-made garments and other goods from Bangladesh through land borders, limiting them to specific seaports in India.
  • This move followed Bangladesh's ban on Indian yarn imports via the same land routes and the earlier cancellation of a 2020 transshipment deal by India in April.
  • The restrictions affect products like cotton, processed foods, wooden furniture, and bar entry through multiple northeastern border points while allowing transit goods for Nepal and Bhutan.
  • Bangladeshi exporters like Pran-RFL Group, exporting $60 million annually to India, called the restrictions a 'big threat,' and industry leaders warned of temporary impacts on textiles and border trade.
  • The restrictions mark further deterioration in India-Bangladesh relations, prompting calls for a bilateral solution while Bangladesh’s government says it has not received official notification yet.
