In an effort to keep export-import activities unhurt, all the customs houses, including the one in Chittagong, will remain open during the Eid vacation except the Eid day, officials said here on Tuesday.

The customs houses will remain open on August 16, 17 and 18 so that export-import, especially the export of readymade garments, can be done uninterruptedly

Earlier, the leaders of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) urged the government to take steps so that export-import activities at the country’s premier seaport Chittagong remain open during the Eid holidays.
