Cleaning Operations
After collecting CDs from NBR by Foreign Trade Section (FTS) of BBS on monthly basis, these are sent to Computer Wing of BBS for rearranging, processing, tabulation etc. After completion of the work, data are sent to Foreign Trade Section, BBS which does the work of correction, compilation and editing and then sends to the Computer Wing for rearranging the said data. Again, the Computer Section sends the printed fonri of data to FTS. Finally, after correction and amendment by FTS, these are again sent to the Computer Wing for final print out.
On receipt of shipping bills from Khulna, entries are made in the control register and the bills are sorted out according to the date and type'of trade. Aftersorting, the documents are bound in the form of a book which is known as batch. Each batch consists of 50-60 bills covering the bills of a particular date. The batches are distributed among the coders for coding the information. The basic information, such as commodity specified by type, quantity of each commodity according to units prescribed in the HS, value, export destination and other relevant information are coded, checked and edited properly on the documents. On completion of coding work, the value is taped from the &cunients. Batch totals are entered in the control register for subsequent matching with computer totals. Batches are then sent to the Computer Wing for capturing the data in diskettes.

Selected monthly tables are published in the Monthly Statistical Bulletin and other monthly and annual publicatibns of BBS.
