established_year is 1950, the year of the Imports and Exports (Control) Act No. XXXIX which created the Chief Controller's office; the office continued under Bangladesh post-1971 via President's Order 1972. current_head Md. Tofazzal Hosen (also rendered Moj. Tofazzul Hosen in some sources) is confirmed as Chief Controller (Additional Secretary rank) from two sources: the ccie.gov.bd officer list page and the bangladesh.eregulations.org contact record; head_since is null because no appointment date appears in accessible primary sources. staff_count and annual_budget_bdt are null: no sanctioned staff total or departmental budget figure is in publicly accessible primary sources; the organogram PDF on ccie.portal.gov.bd shows the hierarchical structure but not numerical totals. verification_status is 'partial' because: (1) the current head's name is confirmed from two sources but appointment date is unavailable; (2) Import Policy Order 2025-2028 approval date of 30 January 2026 is cross-confirmed by TBS News, New Age, The Financial Express, and Apparel Resources; (3) Export Policy 2024-2027 is confirmed by the Bangladesh Trade Portal PDF and MCCI bulletin; (4) OLM portal existence and IRC/ERC procedures are confirmed by the Bangladesh Trade Portal and ccie.gov.bd; (5) established year 1950 and legal basis are confirmed by bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd and ccie.portal.gov.bd primary documents.
