Great stuff jens! Fascinating!

Iron ore Coal & timber & the ability to use it has existed in Nepal for hundreds of years.

As for importing, I cant recall any definate facts in old texts but the Nepalese used to both trade prolificaly & also there Gurkhas would invade & take over & loot many countries including many parts of Northen India & Tibet so I am sure items from many areas where then hauled back to Nepal.

Today most steel in Nepal is imported from India, I dont know when this became standard practice but would imagine Victorean times is quite possible.
