To:
Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer
All Approved Dealer Banks operating in Bangladesh

SUBJECT: Customs Certified Bill of Entry for goods cleared after 4 (four) months - Regarding the provision of overdue bills of entry.

Dear Sir,

Reference is invited to the letter of the Foreign Currency Policy Department dated 19/06/2005, Ref No. FCDP/(Import-2)/1/2005.

In this regard, it is informed that the instructions contained in the aforementioned letter remain unchanged. It is clarified that if the Customs Certified Bill of Entry for goods cleared more than 4 (four) months after shipment is obtained, there is no need to report the details of such overdue bills of entry in the monthly statement. However, for imported goods for which the Bill of Entry is not obtained, i.e., lost goods, goods auctioned by Customs, goods not received due to port-related reasons, etc., prior approval of this department must be obtained to report the value of imports in the monthly overdue bill of entry details statement.

Yours faithfully,

(Tofazzal Hossain)
Deputy General Manager
