Terms of Use

Acceptance

By accessing or using www.rjsyndicate.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

What This Site Is

This Site is an informational and reference resource operated by R. J. Syndicate, a Government-licensed Clearing & Forwarding agent at Chattogram Custom House, Bangladesh. It describes our services, publishes guidance on customs procedure, and provides free reference tools.

Reference Tools — Important Limitation

The Site provides free tools including the HS Code & Duty Finder and the Cargo Tracking directory. Please read this section carefully before relying on them.

• The HS Code & Duty Finder reproduces tariff data from the NBR Customs Tariff First Schedule, FY 2026-27, for quick reference. It is not an official publication of the National Board of Revenue and carries no official status.
• Tariff rates, classifications and regulatory requirements change through SROs, budget measures and administrative orders. Data on this Site may not reflect the most recent change.
• Final classification and duty liability are determined by the customs authority, based on the actual goods, supporting technical documents, applicable SROs, and assessment practice — not by this tool.
• You should verify any figure against the official schedule and take professional advice before lodging a declaration, opening a Letter of Credit, or making a commercial commitment.

Editorial Content

Articles published in our Clearance Journal are general guidance based on our practical experience at Chattogram Custom House. They are not legal, tax or professional advice and do not create a professional relationship. Every consignment carries its own facts; do not act on a general article without confirming it applies to your situation.

External Links

The Site links to third-party websites, including shipping line tracking portals, courier services and government resources. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not operate, endorse, or take responsibility for those websites, their availability, their content, or any data you enter into them. Carriers change their portal addresses without notice; if you find a broken link, please tell us.

Intellectual Property

The design, text, diagrams and original content of this Site are the property of R. J. Syndicate, except where stated otherwise. Tariff data reproduced in the HS Code & Duty Finder originates from the National Board of Revenue. Company names, trade marks and logos of third parties referred to on this Site remain the property of their respective owners; their mention here does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

You may read, print and share our articles for your own business use with attribution. You may not republish substantial portions of the Site as your own content.

Enquiries and Quotations

Submitting the quotation form does not create a contract. Any quotation we provide is an offer subject to the accuracy of the information supplied to us, the actual goods presented, prevailing port and regulatory conditions, and separate written agreement. Clearing engagements are governed by the terms agreed for that engagement and by applicable Bangladeshi law, including the Customs Act 2023 and rules made under it.

Limitation of Liability

The Site and its free tools are provided on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, R. J. Syndicate accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on information published on this Site, from use of the reference tools, or from the unavailability of the Site. This does not limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, and it does not affect our obligations under a signed engagement for clearing services.

Changes

We may update these Terms or the content of the Site at any time. The version published here is the current one.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, and the courts of Bangladesh shall have jurisdiction.
