Mustang. The Mustang Customs Office at the Nepal-China northern Korala border crossing has reported collecting nearly six billion rupees in revenue in the current fiscal year, according to the office. Since the office began operating fully from Bhadra 31, it has collected NPR 5.711 billion in revenue up to Chaitra 7.

Office Chief Ramesh Khadka informed that during this period, goods worth NPR 12.17 billion were imported through the border, and goods worth NPR 203 million were exported towards China. Ramesh Khadka, Chief of the Mustang Customs Office, stated that customs clearance has been completed for 2,347 electric vehicles entering through the Korala border so far.

Furthermore, according to Customs Chief Khadka, customs clearance has been completed for 1,804 cargo containers through the Mustang Customs Office. Last Ashar and Shrawan, the Korala border in Mustang was used as an alternative route after the Rasuwagadhi and Tatopani border crossings were completely shut down due to landslides.

Immediately following this, the Nepal Government's Customs Department fully operationalized the Korala border, which was being used as an alternative. The office stated that the Mustang Customs Office, which usually collects only NPR 10 to 15 lakh in annual revenue, has succeeded in collecting significant revenue since Ashoj.
