Prevalence of customs has existed in Nepal since the Lichchhavi era. Before 1950, Tibet and India were Nepal's major trading partners. There were inner customs offices before 1950. However, the modern era of customs begun with the trade treaty with India in 1950; as a result, all inner customs were closed and borders offices started to work as customs offices.[2]
