Although the onions were exported from India to Bangladesh through various land ports in the country, no onions passed through Benapole, the country’s largest land port. No truck could reach the port of Benapole as the truck loaded with onions stuck in the Petrapol port area in India could not be loaded or exported (LEO).
Sajedur Rahman, general secretary of the Benapole C&F Agents Personnel Association, said no trucks would arrive in Benapole on Saturday despite the Indian government agreeing to release a portion of the onions caught in the ban. Interested exporters could not say when it will arrive.
He said that the Central Board of Indirect Tax and Customs Authority of India (CBIC) had given instructions to the Petrapole Customs on Saturday morning. According to the directive, only those trucks that were loaded and exported (LEO) onions in the port area last Monday (September 14) will go to Bangladesh.
At that time there were five onion trucks inside the port of Petrapole. One of them was a truck. On Thursday (September 17), the exporter also canceled the onion lei due to rotting of the onion. No onion truck arrived at the Benapole port from India on Saturday as there were no loaded onion trucks at the Petrapole port.
Kartik Chakraborty, Secretary General of the Staff Welfare Association, Petrapole Clearing Agent of India, said that on Friday evening the CBIC had sent letters to various departments, including ports and customs, instructing them to export onions on loan (LC ) to Bangladesh after calling for the withdrawal of India’s order to halt onion exports. The letter said that on September 14, all customs duties in India indicated that onions could not be exported to Bangladesh below £ 650.
On September 15, Indian exporters requested onion exports at the request of Bangladeshi importers and government action. On September 17, the Central Customs Department of India allowed the export of onions. However, this complication has arisen after instructions were given that only those trucks loading and exporting onions (LEOs) in the port area last Saturday morning would go to Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, the merchants prepare to make a new leio. However, Karthik Chakraborty could not confirm whether it would be effective after the new Leo.
Axir Mollah, revenue officer at Benapole Checkpost Customs Freight Branch, said that according to the rules, a truck carrying goods from India has to go through the gate when entering Bangladesh. No shipment of onions arrived at the Benapole port on Saturday, as the Indian C&F agent did not take any passes since morning. It is not possible to say for sure when it will arrive.
