Mustang Customs Office collected Rs 11.45 billion in customs revenue through the Korala border crossing between Nepal and China during the first three and a half months of the current fiscal year, exceeding its annual target of Rs 9 billion within just three months. The total reported collection is Rs 2.45 billion above the full-year target, as revenue was generated through the northern transit point in Mustang.
Annual target exceeded early
The office’s collection reached the Rs 9 billion target before the end of the first three months of the fiscal year. Revenue then continued to rise, reaching Rs 11.45 billion by the end of the first three and a half months. The result means the office collected about 127 percent of its annual target during a small part of the fiscal year.
The figures mark a substantial early-year result for Mustang Customs. The annual target is the benchmark set for the office across the full fiscal year, but the reported collection passed that benchmark well before the year was complete. The additional Rs 2.45 billion collected above the target represents the amount by which the office had exceeded its planned annual total at the three-and-a-half-month mark.
The collection was generated through the Korala transit point, the northern border crossing connecting Nepal and China. The reports identify the border route as the source of the customs revenue, but do not provide a breakdown of the Rs 11.45 billion by goods, traders or individual transactions.
Revenue collected through Korala
The reported timeline distinguishes two milestones: the office crossed its Rs 9 billion annual target within three months, and the total collection reached Rs 11.45 billion after three and a half months. The latter figure therefore reflects revenue collected beyond the point at which the annual benchmark had already been met.
The early total offers a measure of the customs office’s performance against its yearly goal, while the reported figure covers only the opening portion of the current fiscal year. No full-year collection figure or revised annual target was included in the reports. The Rs 11.45 billion total should therefore be understood as the collection recorded during the stated three-and-a-half-month period, rather than a final result for the fiscal year.
The Mustang Customs Office’s results also highlight the role of the Korala crossing in the reported revenue collection. Beyond identifying the transit point and the total amount collected, the available reports do not specify what factors drove the revenue or how the collection compares with the same period in previous years. The key figures remain the Rs 9 billion annual target, reached within three months, and the Rs 11.45 billion collected over the first three and a half months.
