Frequently Asked Questions
In the current global trade landscape of 2026, several traditional Nepali products are seeing a massive surge in international demand. Key exports include hand-knotted carpets from workshops in Patan, high-quality pashmina, various herbal teas, and handmade paper. These items represent Nepali heritage and are highly valued in major international markets like New York and Berlin, where buyers are often willing to pay significantly higher prices than what these goods fetch locally in Kathmandu.
The Department of Customs has transitioned away from the old method of using reference pricing from physical books. Instead, they have fully implemented a transaction-value assessment system. This modern approach means that your export business is now judged on the actual value of your invoices. This shift toward digital transparency is designed to make the process more straightforward and fair for exporters who play by the rules, allowing goods to move faster through the system.
The ASYCUDA World system is a digital platform used to manage global trade data and streamline the customs process. By cross-referencing invoice data within this system, the Department of Customs ensures a more transparent and digital workflow. For Nepali exporters, this means the barrier to entry is no longer a mountain of paperwork or secret government handshakes. Instead, the process is more accessible and efficient, allowing ambitious businesses to reach the global market more effectively than in the past.
