National Independent Party MP Sobita Gautam has said that a separate police organization should be established to look after the security of customs. During the discussion on the Customs Bill in the House of Representatives meeting, MP Gautam said that it was an uncomfortable situation without his own security organization and that a new structure should be decided.

'The situation of having to go to the capital from the customs houses at the borders and checkpoints for small matters should be removed and to do this, the customs officer should be empowered to collect revenue and border control at the customs point. Our customs administration is very weak in the control of smuggling and smuggling," she said. Armed personnel are deployed under their own command and control for security and control.
MP Gautam also said that it is a basic requirement of the customs administration to have a security mechanism under its own command. "Yesterday, in Nepal, when revenue collection had to be done in cash and all transactions had to be done in cash, when banks were only in the headquarters, there was a system of guarding Nepal Police for security. That system is still in place today," she said. Uncomfortable situation due to not being is . Therefore, the customs administration should become its own police like in neighboring countries India, China and other countries. At present, armed and Nepalese police have been deployed for customs security.
Member of Parliament Gautam said that the information system used in the customs inspection pass, its international use and the information including cargo inspection pass, classification and evaluation of goods between the customs administrations on both sides should be kept under their own control . She proposed that these topics should be included in the customs bill.
Member of Parliament Gautam also said that classification of imported and exported goods in Nepal and evaluation of goods are the main problems of Nepal's customs administration. He was of the opinion that the government should make legal provisions for the improvement of these problems. In order to do that, she also said that an establishment should be arranged for the production of skilled manpower. He said that these issues were not included in the bill submitted by the government.
She said that the main purpose of the bill submitted by the government should be to solve the problems faced by traders. "The main purpose of this bill should be how to solve the practical problems of traders, because traders have a large share in the country's revenue collection," she said.
In the data of the first 6 months of the current financial year, MP Gautam said that 21.1 percent of the total revenue collection is from customs. He said that there is a need for structure building, skilled manpower, use of technology and transparency.
