Fortune Sourcings
Landlocked, but not complicated

China to Bhutan via Phuentsholing — the transit-protocol corridor.

Bhutan is landlocked, and Bhutanese importers cannot execute Indian transit documentation themselves. Fortune Sourcings runs the India-side leg — from Kolkata port to Jaigaon (India) to Phuentsholing (Bhutan) — under the India-Bhutan transit protocol. This is the piece that costs Bhutanese buyers the most when it goes wrong; owning it end-to-end is why we exist on this corridor.

Section 01

The transit-protocol part explained

Cargo entering India destined for Bhutan does not clear Indian customs the normal way — it moves under a specific transit protocol, sealed at the Indian port, monitored during transit, and cleared into Bhutan at the Phuentsholing land border. Bhutanese importers cannot file this themselves because it requires an Indian entity on record; that is where we come in. Fortune Imports & Exports (India) sits on the record as the transit agent, and we hand the container over sealed at Phuentsholing.
