A huge volume of goods destined for Nepal is stuck on the China border due to restrictions in movement along the northern border.

According to importers, merchandise, including clothes, and edibles have not moved from the border for almost a year. Even though Chinese authorities opened the border briefly a few times, not all goods could be brought in. Consequently, prices of products, especially those imported from China, have shot through the roof, said Nepal Chamber of Commerce.

Even though Chinese products are comparatively cheaper, the border restrictions to stem the spread of the coronavirus have made them quite expensive and new items are yet to arrive in the market, added the NCC.
