India鈥檚 South Asian neighbours are looking for ways to absorb the impact of the goods and services tax (GST) the country adopted from 1 July. The new tax regime subsumes key taxes levied by the central and state governments Authentic 49ers Hoodie , unifying the whole country as single common market.
The major impact for the neighbouring countries is the increase in trasportation cost. Third-country imports through India are going to get costlier as tax rate for transportation through railways, roads and waterways has been increased, though there can be exceptions in some cases.
The South Asian Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) of 2004 may come to the rescue of these countries. There will still be repercussions across the region as India is the largest trading partner of most countries in the region, including Pakistan.
Though SAFTA stipulates that 鈥渢raffic in transit shall be exempt from customs duty and from all transit duties or other charges imposed in respect of transit鈥? the clause that 鈥渢here shall be reasonable charges for transportation and other services rendered for the supervision of such transit鈥?is likely to have an impact on these countries.

鈥淕ST will definitely affect us,鈥?Bangladeshi commerce secretary Subhasis Bose told Firstpostin a telephonic interview. Bose sees new higher GST rates pushing up prices of certain items in his country.
Although Customized 49ers Jerseys , there are a few import items from Bangladesh that enjoy duty-free status, the introduction of GST may change it for some of them.

Bhutan
The Bhutanese economy is closely linked to India鈥檚 and the the Bhutan鈥檚 Chamber for Commerce and Industry is keeping a close watch on the developments here.

Operational costs like warehouse and transportation are likely to come down owing to smooth flow of goods Authentic 49ers Jersey , easier compliance and taxes. The excise duty refunds received by the Bhutanese government is, however, likely to decrease as most of the goods will now be outside the purview of excise.

Pakistan
