On the one hand, the US has imposed 50 percent tariff on India, on the other hand, India’s neighboring country Nepal has only 10 percent tariff. The US trade with Nepal is about 1 percent. However, it has increased very fast in the last few years. America exports many essential things to Nepal, but it will be surprising to know that the US imports ‘Nepali Paneer’ from Nepal for its dogs. Which is called ‘Chhurpi’ in Nepal.
Churpi is considered to be the most strict cheese in the world. It is made in the mountainous areas of Nepal. Yak milk is used to make it. Steal is used as a food of dogs abroad. It goes to chew dogs. It goes on for a long time and this provides many important ingredients along with protein and calcium to dogs.
Double -fold export
In the last five years, the export of Nepali Churpi (Paneer) has doubled. In America, it is known as ‘Himalayan Dog Chu’ and its demand is continuously increasing. The funny thing is that America does not impose a tariff or custom on the import of knife. According to government data of the US, the import of the knife has increased at a speed of 1011% every year in the last five years.
How much is America-Nepal trade
America is quite low trade with Nepal, as Nepal’s share is less than 1% of the total American trade. In 2024, trade between the US and Nepal stood at around $ 1.7 billion, which is 23.7% more than 2023. These figures appeared in the seventh US-Nepal TIFA Council meeting in September 2024, where the two countries emphasized on strengthening economic relations and diversification in business. In the year 2023, Nepal had exported an animal food of $ 24.5 million to the US, including a knocking dog chu. The price of one kilo of knife in the market is around 2000 rupees.
