The government has issued an ‘Import Policy Order’ for the next three years. By the order of the President, the Ministry of Commerce has published a gazette regarding this order. The gazette, signed by Commerce Ministry Deputy Secretary Mirajul Islam Ukil on Monday (April 25th), said the ‘policy order’ was issued for three years from 2021-to 2024, with immediate effect.
The policy order will remain in force till 30 June 2024.
Import policy orders are issued by the Ministry of Commerce every three years. Although there was a provision to issue a new import policy order for three years after 30 June 2021, the Ministry of Commerce could not formulate it due to COVID-19. The country’s import trade will be conducted as per the new import policy order issued.
