The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has sounded an alarm over garments being imported through Bangladesh from other countries to take advantage of duty concessions offered under a free-trade pact.
The DRI has asked the customs wing to look carefully at the origin certificates issued for such consignments by Bangladesh trade bodies.
“There is concern over growing cheap imports from third countries via Bangladesh,” a government official said, adding that the agency wants to ensure that only Bangladeshiorigin imports are brought in.
