Overview
The trade was that of an open market. Most of the trade especially from Nathula was done on the basis of cash transactions where as the trade from Jelep La was mostly done on the basis of barter, even to the later days. The preferred currency for trade was the Indian currency but later on in the post 1950s the Chinese doller called dyang gained prominence. It was a pure silver coin.
The trade exports of India then were that of ghee, suger, tinned goods, hardware, moter parts, mechanical items, construction meterials, editible oils, lether goods (especially shoes), western watches (Rolex-Black dials) etc. The Indian imports were that of raw wool, Chinese silk and Chinese dollar.
