1. Once the raw materials arrive in Bangladesh, the Bangladeshi exporter starts preparing the documents which will be required for exporting the final product. Completing the Export (EXP) Form is the initial step. 2. This format of this Form was developed by the Bangladesh Bank. The exporters’ banks supply the Form in the prescribed format to their clients. 3. Generally, exporters collect several copies of the Form from the banks with a view to avoiding procedural delays (i.e. collecting a new form each time) for every shipment. 4. After filling in the Form manually (using a typewriter), a number of supporting documents are attached to it. These include the Commercial Invoice, Utilisation Declaration (UD), Packing List, Insurance Certificate and a copy of the L/C. The UD is obtained from the office of the Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers’ and Exporters’ Association (BGMEA).
