Import-export through Hili Land Port resumes

Import and export activities resumed on Saturday through Hili Land Port (HLP) in Hakimpur upazila of Dinajpur after an eight-day vacation on the occasion of the Durga Puja.

General Secretary of the Customs, Clearing and Forwarding Agents Association of HLP Jamil Hossain Cholonto said import-export activities remained suspended from September 30 to October 7 last marking the occasion.

Imports, exports, customs clearance, loading and unloading of imported goods resumed this morning through the land port after celebrations of the greatest religious festival Durga Puja of the Sanatan community.

Officer-in-Charge of the immigration check post (ICP) at HLP Md Badiuzzaman said the movement of passport-visa-holder citizens, however, remained normal through the ICP during the period despite the closure of import and export.
