"We have sent a strongly-worded letter expressing our disappointment to the Chinese ministries and departments concerned over the issue," an Indian embassy official said.

The note, copies of which were sent to the state administration and the ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation, has demanded permission for entry, exit, inspection and quarantine of Indian products. It also sought Beijing's compliance, with its commitment made during bilateral trade negotiations on China's entry into the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
