How to Register Foreign Phone with BTRC (NEIR)

If you brought an unregistered smartphone from abroad, you must register it on the National Equipment Identity Register (NEIR) portal within 30 days to avoid network disconnection.

  1. Visit the official BTRC portal: neir.btrc.gov.bd and create an account using your NID.
  2. Dial *#06# on your phone to retrieve your 15-digit IMEI numbers.
  3. Submit copies of your Passport Arrival Stamp, Air Ticket / Boarding Pass, and the Purchase Invoice.
  4. If it is your 1st or 2nd phone, approval is automatic and 100% free of charge. If it is your 3rd phone, upload the Customs Duty Payment Slip issued at the airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can two passengers in the same family bring 4 phones duty-free?

Yes. The duty-free allowance applies per individual passenger with a valid passport, not per family unit.

What happens if I do not declare the 3rd phone at Dhaka Airport?

Carrying undeclared taxable electronic goods through the Green Channel constitutes a violation of customs laws and may result in confiscation or penalties.
