Nepal’s Supreme Court has clarified that its interim order does not suspend customs duties on goods above Rs 100 brought from India. Spokesperson Arjun Prasad Koirala stated the order directs authorities to ensure implementation respects citizens' constitutional rights and dignity, not to stop customs charges. The court acknowledged the state's sovereign power to impose customs duty and the government's legal authority to determine exemptions, focusing on the implementation of the Rs 100 threshold rather than its legality.
