Verzollungsprozess
Department of Revenue and Customs (DRC) manages Bhutan's customs. RAMIS (Revenue Administration Management Information System) used for electronic processing. Most imports enter via Phuentsholing border crossing from India. India-Bhutan Free Trade Agreement allows duty-free imports for most Indian goods.
Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist
Land-locked Himalayan kingdom. Almost all imports transit through India. Very limited international shipping options, DHL is the main express carrier. Remote location means long delivery times. Customs can be slow due to limited staff and infrastructure. Phuentsholing crossing can be backed up during monsoon season.
