As the festival approaches, there has been an increase in the number of new vehicles passing through the Birgunj customs checkpoint. Especially during Dasain and Tihar, the buying and selling of new vehicles is more. As the festival approaches, vehicles such as jeeps, cars, vans and bus truck chassis, which have been stored for a long time in Birgunj customs premises, are checked and released. It also gives an encouraging increase in customs revenue collection.
This year, more electric vehicles are being inspected than fuel-powered vehicles. According to Amit Tiwari, officer of Birganj Customs Office, 104 vehicles of jeeps, cars and vans imported from third countries in Sirsia dry port complex are being checked and exited.
"Most of the electric vehicles in the dry port are passing the inspection and leaving daily, another 20 electric vehicles are leaving within a day or two, the importers have come to release them," he said, "the remaining 75 electric vehicles are also in the process of passing the inspection." He said that some cars of Toyota company have also passed the inspection for vehicles running on fuel. Vehicles of Land Rover company imported from third countries are also in the port premises. But because they are expensive, there is no possibility of passing the examination immediately. He said that there is a possibility that most of the vehicles in the port complex will pass the inspection before Dasain. Since
, there are around 45 jeeps, cars and vans imported from India and third countries in the integrated security check post complex. Some of those vehicles that run on fuel are in the process of being inspected.
The revenue collected from the import of new vehicles also plays a major role in the total revenue collected by Birganj Customs.
