India has imposed restrictions on the import of several items, including processed foods and garments, from Bangladesh via land ports. Last year, Bangladeshi exports to India totaled $1.57 billion. Currently, 36 trucks carrying garments are stranded at Benapole port, awaiting clearance. Indian authorities now require these products to enter only via sea routes to Kolkata. Discussions are ongoing to allow import of items already covered under Letters of Credit (LC) or Telegraphic Transfers (TT). Bangladeshi exporters warn that if sea transport is the only option, exports to India may come to a halt.
