Jute
According to traders, more than 90 percent of jute products
manufactured in Nepal is exported to India. Moreover,
almost 200 tonnes of jute products are manufactured in
Nepal every day and only 10 percent is consumed in the
domestic market. However, the Indian government had
imposed 12.5 percent countervailing duty (CVD) and anti-
dumping duty as a guarantee on Nepali jute products like
jute sacks and hessian jute fabric from December 15, 2015.
Later, it withdrew CVD levied on jute import.
