The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has issued the Shipping Agent Licensing Regulations 2025, introducing several procedural relaxations. According to a notification released on December 30 and announced on Friday, applicants will no longer need prior approval from the NBR to determine the number of shipping agent licenses per customs station. This change is expected to allow licensing authorities to issue licenses more quickly.
Under the new regulations, applicants are no longer required to take written or oral examinations conducted by the Customs, Excise and VAT Training Academy. Licenses will now be granted within a maximum of 30 working days upon proper submission of required documents. Previously, licenses were valid only for the specific customs station that issued them.
The updated rules now allow license holders to operate their shipping agent businesses at any seaport or river port across Bangladesh, expanding operational flexibility and simplifying the licensing process nationwide.
