The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has emphasised the urgent need to accelerate the implementation of the National Single Window (NSW) project to streamline import and export processes faster, more transparent and paperless.
The appeal was made during a Project Implementation Committee meeting held at the National Board of Revenue (NBR) headquarters in Agargaon, Dhaka. The meeting reviewed the progress of the NSW project and addressed key implementation challenges.
Implemented under the NBR, the National Single Window project aims to simplify cross-border trade by integrating multiple regulatory agencies into a single digital platform.
The initiative is expected to reduce paperwork, improve transparency, and accelerate trade-related processes.
Representing BGMEA at the meeting, Director Kazi Mizanur Rahman stressed the importance of accelerating the project’s implementation for the benefit of Bangladesh’s export-oriented RMG sector.
He urged authorities to ensure that the system remains user-friendly, transparent and time-efficient for businesses.
During the discussion, Kazi Mizanur Rahman presented several recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the platform including Full integration between ASYCUDA and the National Single Window system, Faster online issuance of CLPIA and other licenses and certificates, establishment of a fixed timeline for issuing re-export certificates and introduction of training programs and helpdesk services for business users.
Also, BGMEA is fully prepared to cooperate with the NBR in implementing the initiative, which is expected to contribute significantly to trade facilitation and ease of doing business in Bangladesh.
