Subject: Advisory against 2 Bhutanese firms as per para 8.07 (d) of Foreign Trade Policy- 2023– reg.
A complaint was received against the following Bhutanese entities:
The matter was taken up through the appropriate diplomatic and administrative channels in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), 2023, with a view to facilitating resolution of the issues raised in the complaint. However, despite repeated efforts and follow-up communications, no substantive response has been received from the concerned firms or the relevant authorities.

(ECGC), Authorized Dealer Banks, and other concerned stakeholders to exercise heightened vigilance while dealing with the above-mentioned entities.
Accordingly, all stakeholders are advised to:
(i) Exercise enhanced caution and undertake comprehensive due diligence before entering into any commercial arrangement or transaction with the aforesaid entities;
(ii) Sensitize and appropriately advise exporters, importers, and other trade participants regarding the concerns associated with these entities;
(iii) Carefully assess the risk profile of any proposed transaction involving the said entities and take this development into consideration while processing applications, extending financial or credit support, providing trade facilitation services, or issuing certifications and recommendations;
(iv) Promptly report any adverse experience, payment-related issues, contractual disputes, or other relevant information concerning these entities to DGFT for further examination and necessary action.
This is issued with the approval of the Competent Authority.
