FAQ

Key import and export questions

1. What should I check first for an import LC?

Start with customer eligibility, licence evidence, PI details, goods description, shipment terms and latest Bangladesh Bank circulars. Then check bank policy.

No. Use it as a study page, then check later circulars, amendments, AD Forum minutes, Customs/NBR instruction and bank policy.

3. Where can I check CCI&E licensing?

Use CCI&E OLM and the CCI&E website. Keep the checked result if your bank process requires it.

Use the Customs Bond Licence / Entitlement Status Check website.

6. What should be tracked for export proceeds?

Track shipment documents, proceeds receipt, deductions, overdue diary, follow-up notes and current regulatory treatment.

No. Approval must come from official rules, bank policy and authorised bank process.

9. Where should I check Bangladesh Bank circulars?

Use the Bangladesh Bank circular room and search by department, circular number, date and subject. Also check AD Forum minutes where the issue needs operational context.
