Frequently Asked Questions About
Customs & Trade Compliance in Bangladesh
Yes. An Import Registration Certificate (IRC) is required for any business importing goods into Bangladesh. Similarly, an Export Registration Certificate (ERC) is required for export activities. Both registrations are obtained through the Office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports (CCI&E).
The Harmonized System (HS) code determines the customs duty rate, supplementary duty, regulatory duty, and any applicable tax on your imported goods. Incorrect classification can result in underpayment or overpayment of duties, and may trigger post-clearance audit action by Bangladesh Customs.
A post-clearance audit is a review conducted by Bangladesh Customs after goods have been released. Customs authorities examine import documentation, declared values, classification, and duty payments to verify compliance. Companies selected for post-clearance audit should have professional representation and well-organized records.
Customs duty is calculated based on the declared transaction value of imported goods. Bangladesh Customs follows WTO valuation methods and may challenge declared values if they fall below reference prices or appear inconsistent. Proper valuation documentation reduces the risk of duty reassessment.
Yes. Unlike standalone customs brokers, we coordinate customs compliance with corporate tax and VAT filings under one firm. This ensures consistency between duty payments, input tax credits, and financial reporting — eliminating gaps that separate vendors often create.
