India has imposed an immediate ban on the import of certain jute products and ropes from Bangladesh through all land routes, amid strained ties between the two countries. However, according to a notification from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), such imports will be permitted via the Nhava Sheva port. The order states that imports from Bangladesh will not be allowed through any land port along the India-Bangladesh border. The list includes bleached and unbleached woven fabrics of jute or other textile bast fibres, jute twine, cordage, ropes, and jute sacks and bags. Earlier, on June 27, India had banned the import of several jute products and woven fabrics from Bangladesh via all land routes.
