The National Board of Revenue (NBR) and Bangladesh Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority (BAERA) on Sunday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate the use of the Bangladesh Single Window (BSW) system for import and export trade.
Implemented under an NBR-led project, the Bangladesh Single Window is an online platform that enables importers and exporters to electronically submit applications for Certificates, Licenses, and Permits (CLP) required for customs clearance.
Using the system, traders can obtain CLPs automatically after registering with their Business Identification Number (BIN) at the BSW portal (www.bswnbr.gov.bd), according to a press release from NBR.
The BSW platform streamlines the entire process of import-export documentation by allowing relevant government agencies to issue certifications simultaneously online.
It reduces time and cost, ensures transparency and accountability by minimizing human interaction, and helps promote trade and investment by building trust among domestic and international businesses.
As of July 20, 2025, the BSW system has already issued 431,169 CLPs.
