To reduce container congestion and turnover time of vessels, 'green channel' will be introduced at Chittagong Port as per the decision taken by Chittagong Customs Authority yesterday.
After implementation of green channel, import can divert their containers from the ships to seven private inland container depots (ICDs).
On Tuesday, customs issued circular in this issue and this facility was availed to 45 garment factories in preliminary stage.
With this facility, all the formalities related to customs and port will be conduct at port yard prior to delivery.
This facility is allotted to only those factories which have clean track record as per the guidelines issue by National Board of Revenue (NBR).
