By Redoy K

Customs House, Chattogram (CHC) collected record revenue of Tk 68,562.72 crore in fiscal year 2023-24, a 9.4% increase from the previous year. The rise is attributed to enhanced monitoring and revised customs laws imposing stricter penalties for false declarations. Top revenue-generating imports included energy products, construction materials, and agricultural goods. Officials credit the increase to improved governance, surveillance, and expedited clearance processes, which have deterred irregularities in imports. Daily Star
