What is an Import Registration Certificate (IRC)?
An Import Registration Certificate (IRC) is an official authorization issued by the Government of Bangladesh that allows individuals, proprietorship businesses, partnership firms, and companies to import goods from foreign countries.
The IRC is issued by the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports (CCI&E) under the Ministry of Commerce and serves as a legal requirement for conducting import business in Bangladesh.
Why is an IRC Important?
A valid Import Registration Certificate is essential because it:
- Legally authorizes import activities in Bangladesh.
- Enables customs clearance of imported goods.
- Facilitates international trade operations.
- Helps businesses establish credibility with suppliers and financial institutions.
- Supports commercial expansion through global sourcing.
- Ensures compliance with Bangladesh import regulations.
Without an IRC, importers may face customs restrictions, shipment delays, and legal complications.
