No restriction imposed on import-export operations at Benapole Land Port: NBR

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has clarified that no new order or restriction has been issued by the customs authorities regarding import and export operations at Benapole Land Port.

In a press release received Sunday, the NBR said that some national newspapers and media outlets had published or broadcast reports claiming that import-export activities at Benapole were being halted after 6:00 PM. The Board termed these reports incorrect and misleading.

"The entry of imported goods into Bangladesh and the exit of export goods from Bangladesh are continuing as usual in accordance with existing procedures," the NBR statement said.

It urged all service recipients not to be misled by such news and to continue receiving services from Benapole Customs authorities as before.

The NBR also called upon all print and electronic media to help remove confusion and convey accurate information to the public.
