Nepal Implements New Customs Regulations 2083, Replacing 17-Year-Old Rules

Kathmandu. The government has implemented 'Customs Regulations, 2083' with the objective of making international trade technology-friendly, transparent, and efficient. The Ministry of Finance, through a notice published in the Nepal Gazette, has stated that the nearly 17-year-old 'Customs Regulations, 2064' has been completely abolished (as per Section 130) and a new, era-appropriate regulation has been issued.

This regulation, which came into effect immediately upon publication in the Gazette, simplifies export and import procedures and has taken strict measures to control revenue leakage.
