The Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (Bepza) has installed modern weighbridges at its zones to ensure greater transparency, accountability and efficiency in the import and export activities of enterprises.
As part of the initiative, Bepza Executive Chairman Major General Mohammad Moazzem Hossain today (7 September) inaugurated two weighbridges at the old and extension zones of Dhaka EPZ.
The two weighbridges, installed at the main gates of the old and extension zones, will enable the accurate measurement and digital recording of goods transported by containers, covered vans and other vehicles entering and leaving the zones.

The facilities are expected to strengthen monitoring of goods transportation and commercial activities at the Dhaka EPZ while improving efficiency and accountability in the handling of import and export cargo.
The installation of weighbridges will enhance transparency and accountability in measuring goods imported and exported under bonded facilities. At the same time, it will improve the accuracy of information on goods entering and exiting the zones, ensure proper utilisation of imported raw materials, and strengthen the monitoring of bonding activities. The system will also contribute to maintaining discipline in commercial operations and safeguarding revenue.
Following Dhaka EPZ, Bepza is progressing with the installation of similar modern weighbridges at Chattogram EPZ, Adamjee EPZ, Cumilla EPZ, and Karnaphuli EPZ. Weighbridges will be installed gradually across all Bepza-run zones.
The event was attended, among others, by Executive Director of Dhaka EPZ Mohammad Abdul Jabbar and Executive Director (Security) of Bepza Lt. Col. Md. Mohseen Hasan.
