WE can do nothing but complain that getting any kind of certificate, license for doing business in Bangladesh is a pure hassle. You do have to run a lot and visit lots offices including few wrong offices. Moreover, almost every Government office operates like a market, worse than market, no system works. People sit here and there. Nobody listens to nobody. You will see info desk but with no human being to provide you required information. Asking for helps, most of the cases, in a Government office for free does lead no where.
However, we, business men, have to do things and move forward. So, we do take the way we take. In case of getting your IRC & ERC form, you may also need to walk few extra miles. Never mind!
Let's peel the bean, we'll be seeing how to get Import & Export Registration Certificate in Bangladesh and what documents we need to submit, and the cost of doing all these.

Office of the Chief Controller of Imports & Exports provides ERC and IRC certificates. Saying goes that any one having Import Registration Certificate (IRC) and anyone having Export Registration Certificate (ERC) can Import & Export any permissible item without any value and quantity restrictions!

Hello Rubel, What is the type of your organization? If you are in RGM sector, then BGMEA is one kind of trade association. If you are in real estate business, then REHAB is another one. Almost every sector has a government recognized trade association. Besides, you can get a membership of DCCI, which is general in nature.
Thanks.

Hello Future Startup, your prima facie information is very correct. Congratulations on your start up.
However, I have a concern. I need to export a few of my old household appliances that I brought from Saudi Arabia, years ago when I was working there. Of course, I had brought in by paying Customs duties at Dhaka Air Freight Terminal.
Now, I am living in Canada and like to bring a few of those from Dhaka. I am not sure if it is called Re-Export.
Please advise me how can I get a permission during my next visit in Dec-Jan (2016-17).
