Bangladesh takes a big step towards unrestricted trade and revenue enhancement

IBI is proud to announce that on September 20, the National Board of Revenue, with the support of USAID/Bangladesh and IBI as the implementing partner, has officially launched the new Bangladesh Customs Website.

The website is a major milestone in Bangladesh’s pursuit of greater trade liberalization and compliance with World Trade Organization (WTO) norms. The site provides easy access to comprehensive data for anyone interested in trade information.
