The National Board of Revenue (NBR) will soon introduce ‘Authorized Economic Operator (AEO)’ on experiment basis to assist clearing import-export goods at lower costs and in shortest possible time, reports BSS.

“We’re going to introduce this special facility for assisting the business houses. As the country’s businesses sector is expanding gradually, the customs will have to maintain pace with it. It is a step to modernise our customs,” said NBR chairman Md Nojibur Rahman while speaking at a workshop on AEO at a city hotel yesterday.

NBR member (customs inspection and international trade) Khandaker Md Aminur Rahman, chief of NBR’s AEO committee Prokash Dewan and Dr Muhammad Khairuzzaman of USAID, among others, attended the opening session of the workshop.
