Overview

Doing a steel project in Bhutan

Bhutan is in Southern Asia. The capital is Thimphu. Local currency: Bhutanese ngultrum (BTN), Indian rupee (INR).

Bhutan has no coastline: shipments arrive through a seaport in a neighbouring country (China, India) and continue by road or rail.

Vietnam has no free trade agreement in force with Bhutan. Imports follow the general tariff of Bhutan, which is checked for each project in the landed cost estimate.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Bhutan, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.

  • Certificate of origin (non-preferential) if the buyer or customs require it.
  • Material certificates and inspection records as agreed in the contract.
  • Building permit, local code approval and any import licence required in Bhutan.

Victor confirms the exact list with the buyer, freight forwarder and customs broker for each project.
