South AsiaChemical Supplier & Exporter to Bhutan
Bhutan's industrial activity is concentrated in the southern belt, where ferro-alloy and ferrosilicon plants at Pasakha, cement works and food processors operate close to the Indian border. Hydropower stations and municipal systems need water-treatment chemicals, and hospitals and the Royal University of Bhutan buy laboratory reagents. With INR freely usable and no customs duty on most Indian goods, we supply by road from Gujarat and Mumbai to Phuentsholing, and by air to Paro when speed matters.

Bhutan's trade with India is largely duty-free under the India–Bhutan Trade Agreement, and most goods enter by road at Phuentsholing. Medicines and APIs require authorisation from the Bhutan Food and Drug Authority, and hazardous chemicals are subject to environmental and safety controls. Paperwork is usually light, but accurate invoices and SDS remain essential.
