CHAPTER-3

TOPIC ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION


11/31

3.1 Definition of Foreign Exchange Operation

. Creating a Viable Link between Export and

Import

Foreign Exchange refers to the process or mechanism by which the currency of one

country is converted into the currency of another country. Foreign exchange is the means

and methods by which rights to wealth ina countrys currency are converted into rights

to wealth in another countrys currency. The foreign exchange department of SBL of


12/31

mirpur Branch is playing an important role in enhancing import earning which aids

economic growth and, will be helpful for economic boost. On the other hand, it also helps

to meet those goods and services which are more demanding and not adequate in our

country

.

3.2 Export and Import Procedure

Modern world depends upon foreign exchange to do trade with other countries. Foreign

trade refers to the trade between different sovereign nations or different countries.

Smaller or large all the country of the world now cannot goes without the help of other

country. It can run without keeping relation with any specific country but it is not

posSBLe to exist without keeping relation with the any country of the world. No country

in the world can produce everything that she requires. So every country specializes in the

production of commodities, which she cans be producing at comparatively low cost. And

she secures other production exchange of their surplus from foreign which are in an

advantage position to produce these other product.

is an instrument in writing containing an unconditional order signed by the maker,

directing a certain person to pay [on demand or at fixed or determinable future time] a

certain sum of money only to or to the order of a certain person or to the bearer of the

instrument.

It may be either at sight or certain day sight. At sight means making payment whenever

documents will reach in the issuing bank.

Commercial invoice issued by exporter is the accounting document by which the seller

charges the goods to buyer.

Bill of lading:

A bill of lading is a document usually stipulated in a credit when exporter dispatches the

goods. It is an evidence of a contract of carriage, is a receipt for the goods and is a

document of title to goods. It also constitutes a document that is or may be needed to

support au insurance claim.

Clean Report of Findings

world has been brought under four pre shipment inspection concerns based on different

territory. These are as follows:

THE DOCUMENTS SENT TO THE ISSUING BANK THROUGH THE NEGOTIATING

BANK:

The negotiating bank carefully checks the documents provided by the exporter against the

credit and if the documents meet all the requirement of the credit, the bank will pay,

accept.or negotiate in accordance with the terms arid conditions of the credit. Then the

batik sends the documents to the L/C opening bank:

treated to be accepted after the end of seven banking day following the day of receipt of

the document under Article 1(b) of UCPDC 600. If any discrepancy is found then

the banker informs it to the importers that whether he accept the bills with discrepancies

or not. If the importer does not accept, the banker (SBL) informs it to the negotiating

bank within seven banking days from the date of receipt of the documents, otherwise it is

treated to be accepted arid the opening batik (SBL) must bound to pay against the bill and

no complain against the bill will be accepted more than 4 banking days following the date

4.7 Foreign Remittance Section

Foreign remittance means purchase and sale of freely convertible foreign currencies as

admisSBLe under Exchange Control Regulations of the country. Purchase of foreign

currencies constitutes inward foreign remittance and sale of foreign currencies constitutes

outward foreign remittance.

Personal observations:

I have observed the following things:

Inward Foreign Remittance:

Inward remittance covers purchase of foreign currency in the form of foreign T.T., D.D.,

bills, T.C. etc. sent from abroad favoring a beneficiary in Bangladesh. Purchase of

foreign exchange is to be reported to Exchange Control Department of Bangladeshi

Bank.

Outward Foreign Remittance:

Outward remittence covers sales of foreign currency through issuing foreign TT,Drafts,


28/31

Travelers Check etc. as well as sell of foreign exchange under L/C and against import

bills retired. Sale of foreign exchange is reported to Exchange Control Department of

Bangladesh Bank.

We see that there arc two types of Foreign Remittance:

a. Foreign Inward Remittance.

The Foreign Remittance department of SBL at Mirpur branch is equipped with a

number of foreign remittance facilities:
