Import from China to Assam
Assam and the north-eastern region receive China imports primarily via Kolkata Port or via the land route through Bangladesh. ICD Amingaon in Guwahati is the primary customs clearance point. Assam's oil sector and growing consumer market drive significant import activity.
The India-Bangladesh-Bhutan-Nepal (BBIN) land connectivity initiative is improving transit routes for north-east India's import supply chains.
