The Government of Nepal has recently passed a bill pretty much making it impossible import to books printed or published outside of Nepal. If you had been waiting for the next sequel of your favourite series or the next book by your favourite author to come to bookstores in Nepal, that's not gonna happen, unless we force the government to take back this "Law".

Book sellers previously imported book from India, paying IC and taxes at customs, but the fact that they were imported from so close by was what made it affordable for both the distributors in Nepal as well as the general public. Now, this new "law" forces importers to buy books paying USD. This is going to raise the prices so much that the little profit previously existing will now cease to. Because of this, imports of books will drop to possibly even 0.
