India lifts tea export hurdle for Nepal; truck-by-truck testing scrapped

mypeoplesreview.com · 1 week ago

Nepal's tea exports to India have resumed after India withdrew mandatory testing for every tea shipment. The Tea Board of India revised its order, meaning tea for consumption in India will not require mandatory testing unless randomly checked by food safety or customs authorities. Stricter rules remain for re-exported tea, and testing timelines have been shortened. The resolution was facilitated by coordinated efforts from Nepal's Foreign Ministry and the Nepali Embassy in New Delhi.
