The National Board of Revenue (NBR) of Bangladesh has introduced a new sub-module called 'Truck Movement' under the ASYCUDA World System to digitally monitor the movement of goods-laden trucks entering from India. The system electronically records each truck’s entry, duration of stay, and return of empty vehicles, replacing the previous manual process that was time-consuming and prone to errors. A pilot program began on December 15 at the Benapole Customs House in Jashore.

According to the NBR, the automated system will ensure real-time tracking and reporting of cross-border truck movements, improving efficiency in data management and minimizing revenue leakage. Officials believe the initiative will strengthen transparency and accountability in customs operations while enhancing border security. The NBR emphasized that accurate data will also help improve customs supervision and tax collection.

The revenue authority plans to expand the 'Truck Movement' module to all land ports across the country soon. Experts expect the system to modernize import operations, streamline border trade, and support Bangladesh’s broader digital governance goals.
