Mongla Custom House (Bengali: মোংলা কাস্টম হাউস) is a Bangladesh government regulatory agency under the Ministry of Finance responsible for collecting tariffs and costume duty in Mongla port town, Khulna city and Mongla Port.[1][2][3]
History
The Mongla Port was founded in 1950 to serve the southwestern region of East Bengal. It was originally known as Chalna Port.[4] After the establishment of the port it was under East Pakistan Custom in Khulna office. In 1972 the Mongla sub-custom house and Benapole sub-custom house jointly founded the Mongla Custom House by the President's Order No. 62 of 1972 in Bangladesh is known as The Bangladesh Taxation Laws (Adaptation) Order, 1972.[2][5]
In 1997 its office in Benapole also known as the Benapole sub-custom house became full-fledged Custom House, and renamed as Benapole Custom House. Which erases its justification over Benapole Port.[6]
