Road freight via Kerung and Tatopani
Trucking from China through Tibet to Nepal's northern border customs points.
Road cargo moves from inland China to Tibet and crosses into Nepal at the Kerung (Gyirong)–Rasuwagadhi border or the Zhangmu–Tatopani border, then on to Kathmandu.
Typical transit is 15–30 days. Mountain roads can be affected by monsoon landslides and winter weather, so we plan buffers into delivery dates.

Frequently asked questions
Are duty rates fixed?
No. Nepal's customs tariff and tax rates are set in the annual Finance Act and can change each fiscal year. We confirm the current rate for your HS code when we quote.
Can you handle the import for me?
Yes. Our import service covers documents, customs clearance and delivery, so you do not need to manage each step yourself.
