5 Introduction This annual publication on Import Payments incorporates details of Imports under cash and loans and grants reported to the Bangladesh Bank by the banking sector. Classification The Data are classified by commodities and countries, by countries and commodities. This has been done in accordance with the classifications embodied in "The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System". In this system data are available more elaborately. Countries have been listed alphabetically. Country classification of the import data from the banking sector are based on the principle of country of origin, of the goods, not the country of contract or shipment. For example, a trader from Bangladesh may enter into a trade contract with a dealer in country-a for the supply of certain goods originally produced in country-b. In such a case, the country classification of import would show country-b as the source although the import was actually contracted with country-a. The country classifications of aid financed import are also recorded in general on the basis of country of origin of the goods. Valuation In general, import contracts in Bangladesh are on Cost and Freight (C & F) basis. The banking sector reports import transactions separately for each currency of settlement. The Taka valuation of the transactions for each currency is based on the monthly average of middle closing spot rates ruling on the New York exchange market. Timing The import figures as contained in this booklet will differ from those based on customs return (as published by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics) because exchange control records report the imports when the obligations are settled by means of remittances through the banking channel, while import in the customs returns are entered at the time of physical entry of the goods into the country. Moreover, there are differences in coverage. For example, gift parcels entering the country through postal channels and accompanied and unaccompanied dutiable baggage brought in by passengers are covered in the customs data, but the same are not reflected in the exchange records. On the other hand, the customs figures exclude such items as fuel and other commodities for ship's stores purchased by resident ship carriers in foreign ports but the exchange records include them.
