Bangladesh Announces Quicker Customs Services in Export Zones

Bangladesh plans to accelerate customs-related services in the country’s Export Processing Zones for certain traders, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council reported Oct. 22. The move will allow import‑export customs permissions, bond registrations and the release of duty‑free import goods to be processed more quickly for certain foreign and local investors involved in trade, the report said.
