The Custom House in Chattogram, Bangladesh’s largest revenue-generating customs station, collected a record Tk 81,471 crore during the fiscal year 2025-26.
The figure represents a 12.37% increase compared to the previous fiscal year, marking a significant expansion in border revenue collection for the country’s primary maritime gateway.
The surge in customs receipts underscores the continued reliance on import duties to support national fiscal targets.
With Chattogram handling the bulk of the nation’s trade volume, the record collection reflects both steady import demand and more rigorous enforcement measures implemented by customs authorities throughout the year.
This development aligns with broader trends in South Asian trade logistics, where major port authorities are optimizing revenue streams amid fluctuating global shipping costs.
The performance at Chattogram mirrors operational improvements seen at other key regional hubs, highlighting the strategic importance of efficient customs processing for economic stability.
