Phone: 01819489152/7162512(Off) Date: 07 March, 2012 Preface Trade and Commerce is one of the prime driving forces of socio-economic development. Since last two decades, export has been playing a very important role in the socio-economic development of Bangladesh. These days, export of Bangladesh has been developing and expanding fast contributing in employment generation and reducing poverty significantly. The number of young and educated entrepreneurs in the export business is increasing day by day. It is important for them to know how to deal in the export business and the relevant laws, rules and policies. But unfortunately, it is not easy for them to have access as the export related laws, rules and policies are endorsed by different authorities and they are not compiled rather they are scattered and some times hardly available. Besides, it is very difficult to understand their texts as they are formulated in the respective texts, format and are throne with many difficult jargons. These situations call me for developing “A Hand Book for Export from Bangladesh” which is user-friendly and easy to understand. Fortunately, an opportunity came to develop such hand book when I was participating in Management at the Top-2 (MATT-2) training program starting from 27 February, 2011 at Savar, Dhaka. I belong to Batch-30, Group-E in that training course. As requirement of the training program “An Individual Action Plan” (IAP) has to be undertaken by each participant. I was pleased to undertake my IAP on developing the above mentioned hand book. With a view to develop the handbook I have been working as per action plan. I have to visit and consult with the concern officials. At first I sought and obtained permission from honorable Commerce Secretary who extended his sincere cooperation to develop the handbook. I am grateful to Mr. Monoj Kumar Roy, Joint Secretary (export) of Ministry of Commerce for his out supports throughout the development of the handbook. I also must remember the concerned officials of Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), Office of the Chief Controller of Import and Export (CCI&E), National Board of Revenue (NBR) for their help, support and cooperation. Collecting all the export related laws, rules, circulars and orders from the respective authorities, I have compiled all of them into a booklet. Besides, for easy understanding and making it user-friendly I have prepared a summary on export from Bangladesh where I briefly have described the export rules, procedures, policies etc with annexure of relevant laws, rules and circulars. In addition, I have furnished some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and Answers to make the answers of frequent queries available which I hope will help make the handbook more useful. The table of contents also has short description of all the materials included in this booklet which will further help the users//readers to search or understand the relevant contents. Finally, contact addresses of some foreign buyers and web addresses of Organizations facilitating export at the end of the handbook will definitely help the exporters in their endeavor for exports. The handbook is under process of publication and printing. At this moment a few copies are available. It is also notable that the book is continuously being updated the soft copy of which is also available. ABU SAYEED CHOWDHURY Deputy Secretary Table of Contents | SL.
