Due to the ongoing strike by National Board of Revenue (NBR) officials in Bangladesh, export and import operations are severely affected, prompting international buyers to threaten cancellation of shipments and export orders. Limited office hours and unresolved delays in customs clearance are increasing lead times and costs. Business leaders warn of serious economic fallout and urge the government to initiate immediate dialogue. They also call on NBR staff to resume work unconditionally for the sake of the national economy.
