This is a study of the nature of bilateral trade between India and Bangladesh at the unofficial (illegal) level. Foreign trade statistics that have been analysed in the past are of official trade flows and illegal transaction through legal channels via fake invoicing. However little work has been undertaken so far on illegal trade flows (smuggling) with respect to commodities of mass consumption across international frontiers outside official entry and exit points. The empirical data based work in this study has ventured into this murky area and provides estimates of cross border trade flows in commodities of mass consumption along the Indo Bangladesh land border covering the Indian states of West Bengal Assam and Tripura. This study makes a significant contribution in evolving a modified form of the Delphi technique to generate data on smuggled commodity flows. The approach and data collection/estimation procedures used here bridge the existing gap in the field of analysis of illegal trade transactions outside official channels across international borders. The study clearly brings out that the cross border unofficial commodity trade flows along the Indo Bangladesh border are at almost the same level as the official foreign trade besides being mostly from India to Bangladesh is also non competitive with official trade. The data point to the need for freer trade between India Bangladesh. This study was conducted before SAARC countries decided to operationalise SAPTA and SAFTA by the end of 1995. (jacket) 96 pp.
