Industrial Import License Recommendation
Import your machinery and raw materials legally with professional support from Segunbagicha Consultancy.
If your company plans to import industrial machinery, equipment, or raw materials into Bangladesh, you must first obtain a BIDA Industrial Import License Recommendation.
This recommendation is issued by the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) and is essential for opening import LCs (Letters of Credit) at banks and receiving customs clearance.
At Segunbagicha Consultancy, we help you prepare and submit all required documents to obtain your Industrial Import License Recommendation quickly, accurately, and in full compliance.
What Is an Industrial Import License Recommendation?
The Industrial Import License Recommendation is an official authorization from BIDA that allows an industrial unit to import:
Capital machinery
Spare parts
Raw materials
Industrial components
It certifies that your company is a legally registered industrial entity and that the imported goods are necessary for production.
Without this recommendation, banks cannot process import LCs for capital goods or raw materials.
