NBR to formally launch Bangladesh Single Window system in March

The platform, which saw a soft launch last month, aims at streamlining import-export processes by integrating multiple regulatory agencies into a unified digital framework.

The system will allow traders in the country to submit necessary documents through a single online portal, domestic media outlets reported.

This initiative is expected to reduce bureaucratic delays, enhance transparency and lower the costs associated with trade activities.

Initially, seven out of the 19 targeted regulatory agencies have been integrated into the system.

These are the Directorate General of Drug Administration, the Export Promotion Bureau, the Bangladesh National Authority for Chemical Weapons Convention, the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority, the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority and the departments of environment and explosives.

The other 12 authorities are expected to be on board next month, NBR chairman Mohammad Abdur Rahman Khan recently said.
