Industrial Import License (IRC) in Bangladesh

Industrial Import License Recommendation is the essential pathway to get your industrial import license fast and legally. Specifically, Segunbagicha Consultancy handles all documentation, approval, and compliance tasks for you. If your factory or industrial business in Bangladesh needs to import machinery, spare parts, or raw materials, then you must obtain an Industrial Import Registration Certificate (IRC) from the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports (CCI&E). At the same time, we help manufacturers complete the BIDA recommendation and CCI&E registration process. Consequently, we ensure full legal compliance for importing goods used in your production cycle.

If your factory or industrial business in Bangladesh needs to import machinery, spare parts, or raw materials, you must obtain an Industrial Import Registration Certificate (IRC) from the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports (CCI&E).
At Segunbagicha Consultancy, we help manufacturers complete the BIDA recommendation and CCI&E registration process — ensuring full legal compliance for importing goods used in production.

What Is an Industrial Import License (IRC)?

An Industrial Import License, officially known as the Industrial Import Registration Certificate (IRC), authorizes a factory or manufacturer to import:

  • Capital machinery

  • Raw materials

  • Spare parts

  • Industrial equipment

This license is issued by the CCI&E, based on a recommendation from BIDA (Bangladesh Investment Development Authority) confirming the company’s industrial status.

It is mandatory for all industries importing goods for their own use, production, or manufacturing operations.

Difference Between Industrial and Commercial IRC

Industrial IRC  Import raw materials, machinery, and equipment for factory use Manufacturers, factories, production units

Commercial IRC Import finished goods for resale or trading Traders, distributors, retail businesses

If you run a manufacturing company, you need an Industrial IRC — not a Commercial one.

Step-by-Step Process for Industrial IRC Registration

Initially, the registration process might seem complex, but we simplify it for you through these specific steps:

  1. Obtain BIDA Recommendation: First, we help you apply to BIDA for a recommendation letter.

  2. Prepare Application: Next, our team prepares your Industrial Import License application with all necessary documents.

  3. Submit to CCI&E Office: Subsequently, we file your application to the CCI&E along with the BIDA recommendation.

  4. Pay Government Fees: Meanwhile, we handle treasury challan payments and all official charges.

  5. CCI&E Verification: After that, officials review your documents and factory details for final approval.

  6. Receive IRC Certificate: Finally, once approved, you receive your Industrial IRC, which remains valid for one year.

Required Documents for Industrial Import License (IRC)

Notably, you must prepare a specific set of documents for a successful application. For instance, the requirements include:

  • BIDA Recommendation Letter.

  • Company Incorporation Certificate and MoA/AoA.

  • In addition, an Industrial Trade License and TIN/BIN Certificates are required.

  • Factory Layout and Bank Solvency Certificate.

  • Moreover, you must include a list of machinery with specific HS Codes.

  • Membership Certificate from a local chamber or association.

Ultimately, Segunbagicha Consultancy handles every step—from preparing your documents to securing final approval.
