KATHMANDU: The Nepalgunj Customs Office collected Rs 20.115 billion in revenue during the fiscal year 2025/26, a decline of Rs 164.5 million compared with the previous fiscal year.

The chief customs officer attributed the decrease to lower imports of petroleum products and India’s ban on sugar exports. He said the decline was smaller than initially expected.

According to the customs office, revenue collection stood at Rs 20.285 billion in 2024/25, up from Rs 18.157 billion in 2023/24.

Major imports through the Nepalgunj Customs Office include fuel, tractors and tillers, polythene granules, rice, food grains, and iron, while herbs are among the key export items.
