New Delhi/Bhutan/Bangladesh/Nepal - Following the Motor Vehicles Agreement (MVA) signed by four countries Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal (BBIN) on June 15, 2015 (abbreviated as BBIN MVA) - which permits the seamless transport of goods and passengers between these countries - India has seen the first borderless transport trial operate successfully between Dhaka in Bangladesh and New Delhi in India via Kolkata. The trial allowed implementation of protocols specific to border controls and to the Motor Vehicle Act amendments. As part of the agreement, the vehicles were allowed to move with temporary e-permits at the borders by customs. The trucks were electronically sealed the moment they reached the first land customs station, and then monitored until they reached the Inland Custom Depot in Patparganj, New Delhi, where a bill of entry and customs duty payment was made by the importing company.
