What is an Export Registration Certificate (ERC)?
An Export Registration Certificate (ERC) is an official authorization issued by the Government of Bangladesh that permits businesses to export goods to foreign countries. Without a valid ERC, businesses may face difficulties conducting export activities through authorized banking and customs channels.
The certificate serves as proof that your business is legally eligible to engage in international trade and export operations.

An ERC is generally required for:
- Manufacturers exporting products overseas
- Trading companies involved in international sales
- Export-oriented businesses
