Out of these, 657 containers carried goods imported from China, while 7 containers were exports from Nepal to China.
Customs Chief Ramesh Khadka said that most imports from China include ready-made clothes, cosmetics, and electronic items mainly for the Dashain and Tihar festivals. On the other hand, Nepal has exported handicraft items and locally made products to China.
