The Border, Handled
India–Bhutan trade moves overwhelmingly through the Jaigaon–Phuentsholing land crossing, and delays there are almost always documentation problems. Because our own team sits at that border, we tell you exactly what paperwork your consignment needs before dispatch — invoice copies, e-way bill to the border, and the import formalities on the Bhutan side — so trucks don’t sit at the gate.
What We Carry to Bhutan
Construction materials and hardware, food products and FMCG, industrial equipment and machinery, medical supplies, project cargo for Bhutan’s hydel and infrastructure sector, and retail stock for Phuentsholing and Thimphu markets.
Serving Both Sides of the Corridor
Consignments for Siliguri and Sikkim travel the same corridor — combining loads is often how we keep Bhutan rates sharp. One call covers the whole Eastern route network we’ve built since 1985.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are goods transported from India to Bhutan by road?
Nearly all road cargo enters Bhutan through the Jaigaon–Phuentsholing border crossing. We truck goods from Kolkata to the border in 2–3 days, complete crossing formalities through our own Jaigaon office, and deliver onward to Phuentsholing, Thimphu and other destinations.
What documents are needed to send goods to Bhutan?
Typically a commercial invoice, e-way bill to the border point, and Bhutan-side import formalities depending on goods type. We provide a documentation checklist with every quote so your consignment clears without delay.
How long does delivery from Kolkata to Thimphu take?
Usually 3–4 days total: 2–3 days to Phuentsholing plus about a day onward to Thimphu, subject to border processing and hill road conditions.
Do you offer part load service to Bhutan?
Yes. We consolidate Bhutan-bound part loads on our regular Kolkata–Siliguri–Jaigaon corridor, which keeps rates economical for smaller consignments.
