Subject: Request for issuing a guideline on custom charges on capital machineries.

Dear Sir,

We are thankful to you for allotting 100 acre land for implementing the first Electric Vehicle (EV) automobile
manufacturing project at Feni-Mirsorai Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of BEZA.

We have issued LC to import capital machineries. The shipment is expected to be arrived by July 2020. We
understand that there may not be custom duty (CD), regulatory duty (RD), supplementary duty (SD), VAT, AT,
AIT or any other charges on capital machinery. There are specific SROs by NBR and by BEZA too. (attached).

While going through all of the SROs, we became confused whether we won’t have to pay above mentioned
duty, vat & taxes or not. We are also unsure whether we need to apply to BEZA or NBR to get exemption
certificate.

In this context, we would like to request you to provide us a comprehensive guideline on;

1) Whether we need to pay CD, RD, SD, VAT, AT AIT or any other charges to custom while importing
capital machineries.

2) Whether we need to apply to BEZA or NBR or any specific authority to get exemption.

Thank you very much and appreciate your cooperation. We hope that with your cordial support we can
implement the project in shortest possible time and to add significant value in nation’s economic development.

Sincerely yours

A Mannan Khan
Chairman
