New importers often mix up trade licenses, PAN, VAT, and what makes a business “eligible” to import. This confusion causes last-minute delays when the shipment arrives.
1. Trade license in Nepal
A trade license generally relates to your ability to operate a business in a local context. It’s part of basic business compliance.
2. PAN and VAT registration
PAN identifies the taxpayer; VAT registration may be required depending on turnover and business type. Customs documentation frequently relies on accurate tax registration details.
3. Import/export readiness
Import readiness often includes having the correct company registrations, tax status, and ability to present valid commercial documents and payments. Some goods need additional permits.
4. Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Using inconsistent company names, expired registrations, or missing authorization letters leads to clearance delays. Prepare your documentation file before your first shipment.
