NEW DELHI: India has allowed Bangladesh to import motorcycles through the land customs stations, a move that is expected to give a big leg-up to exports of country’s two-wheel makers.
“Bangladesh had requested India and it has been permitted after inter-ministerial consultations,” said a finance ministry official.
A decision to this effect was taken at the India-Bangladesh joint group of customs in Dhaka led by revenue secretary Sumit Bose and Ghulam Hussain, chairman of National Board of Revenue of Bangladesh, last week in Dhaka, the official said.
