Bangladesh recently made submission of certificates, licenses and permits (CLP) through the Bangladesh Single Window (BSW) system mandatory for seven government entities from February 1 for import and export customs clearance.

The BSW system, implemented by the National Board of Revenue (NBR), is an online platform designed to streamline CLP applications and processing.

Manual CLP submissions will no longer be accepted for these agencies after January 31, a notification by NBR said.

The seven organisations are the Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA), the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), the Department of Explosives (DoEX), the Bangladesh National Authority for Chemical Weapons Convention (BNACWC), the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA), the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) and the Department of Environment (DoE).

Importers and exporters can register on the platform using their business identification number (BIN) and submit all necessary documents digitally, the notification said.

Benefits of this system include enhanced transparency and accountability due to minimal human interaction, significant reductions in time and cost for trade activities, necessary procedures will be done online simultaneously by all the concerned agencies and improved trust among domestic and international businesses, domestic media outlets reported.
