Time Release Study for Agricultural Commodities [2021-22]
The report assessed the process and time taken by each agro-trade agency for exporting and importing agro products.
Bangladesh Trade Facilitation Project, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), has conducted the first-ever agro-focused Time Release Study (TRS) in Bangladesh focusing on import and export of agricultural goods and food items under HS Chapter 1-24. The TRS followed the methodology developed by the World Customs Organization’s TRS Guide 2018 as international best practice, adapting where necessary, to cater for the idiosyncrasies related to agricultural goods. The report assessed the process and time taken by each agro-trade agency for exporting and importing agro products.
