All Customs Houses and Stations will remain operational on public and weekly holidays from June 5 to 14, excluding Eid day, to facilitate uninterrupted import-export trade ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.<\/p>\n
The National Board of Revenue (NBR) confirmed the matter through an official directive issued on on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The decision follows a formal request from the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), which stressed the importance of continuous trade operations for the export-oriented ready-made garment industry.<\/p>\n
In a letter to the NBR chairman on May 14, BGMEA administrator Md Anwar Hossain highlighted the time-sensitive nature of garment exports, stating that delays could result in financial losses and missed foreign exchange earnings.<\/p>\n
The garment industry currently faces multiple challenges, including US counter-tariffs, labour unrest, rising raw material costs, high interest rates on bank loans, an ongoing energy crisis, and increased transportation expenses.<\/p>\n
Despite these hurdles, exporters have successfully maintained strong relationships with international buyers, ensuring steady export orders.<\/p>\n
To sustain this momentum, BGMEA emphasised the need for uninterrupted cooperation from ports, customs, banks, and the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB).<\/p>\n
The letter warned that failure to ship ongoing export orders on time could lead to cancellations, causing significant financial setbacks for exporters and the national economy.<\/p>\n
In response, NBR issued an official directive ensuring the continued operation of key customs offices, including Chittagong Custom House, during the specified period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
