Several other bilateral trade and commerce issue will also be raised in the two-day meeting.

Bangladesh will seek reciprocal arrangements for trucks entering both the countries country, construction of warehouses at Petrapole for storing Bangladesh exports, harmony in valuation and classification of Bangladesh exports, special provisions for export of perishable items and ensuring proper documents for customs clearance at the talks, National Board of Revenue sources said.

Nasir Uddin, commissioner (valuation) at Benapole land port will lead the seven-member Bangladesh delegation at the talks.

High officials of NBR along with other land port commissioners will be included in the delegation, the sources said.

"We will raise the issue of a reciprocal arrangement so that Bangladeshi trucks can enter Petrapole. Now the Indian trucks enter our side of the border for easing the hassles and eliminating the extra-cost for Bangladeshi exporters," an NBR official said.

The Indian customs often creates problems in customs classification and valuation, causing a lot of troubles to both Bangladeshi exporters and Indian importers, Bangladeshi businessmen alleged.

Bangladesh at the talks will also request India to make specific provisions for submitting bank-endorsed documents for customs clearance to check fraudulent activities by unscrupulous businessmen.

At present, goods are released on the basis of both bank-endorsed documents and documents submitted by importers and exporters, which in many cases cause trouble to the banks opening letters of credit in releasing the invested amount from the parties, sources said.
