How to Get Bonded Ware House License in Bangladesh

If your firm is a 100% export oriented industry, you may reduce your cost by getting a Bonded Warehouse License for duty free import of raw materials from the Customs Authority. You must export 100% of your products. On the other way, you may import your materials by paying customs duties and even you do have the option to procure your raw materials from the local market and thus Bonded Warehouse License will not be required. After completions of export, you will get a Duty Draw Back or cash benefit at the rate of 25%.

Claim of duty draw back should be submitted to the DEDO as per prescribed rule.

You have to submit your application along with the following documents:

One: Application in a prescribed form.
