In order to electronically monitor the movement of cargo trucks coming into Bangladesh from India, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) has implemented a new digital sub-module called “Truck Movement” under the ASYCUDA World system.
The system intends to digitally record information about the entry of vehicles carrying imported products and the return of empty trucks, according to an NBR press release released today. Such operations were previously carried out manually.
The pilot operation of the new sub-module was launched on December 15, 2025, at Benapole Customs House, the country’s largest land port. Based on the outcomes of the pilot phase, the NBR plans to roll out the system across all land ports in the near future.
The newly introduced module will enable customs authorities to store accurate data on the arrival and departure of each Indian truck, calculate the duration of stay, and ensure effective real-time monitoring.
Officials believe that the system will significantly improve data management, curb revenue leakage, and enhance transparency and accountability in customs operations.
In addition, the digital tracking mechanism is expected to play an important role in strengthening border security by providing real-time reports on truck movements.
The NBR stated that the nationwide implementation of the Truck Movement sub-module will further modernise customs management and facilitate smoother cross-border trade through enhanced automation and oversight.
