Global Distribution Centre (GDC) is a value added bonded warehouse under the ‘Entrepot’facility as practiced in many countries. The main objective of this venture is to lock in the freight customer base by providing more value added logistics services at point of origin – enabling them to save costs and manage the supply chain effectively. GDCs are the foundation of a global supply network. They allow a single location to stock a vast number of products by facilitating number of organizations to operate both in retail distribution and direct-to-consumer out of a single facility, by sharing space, equipment, labor resources, and inventory as applicable.

A Distribution Centre for a set of products is a warehouse or other specialized building, often with refrigeration or air conditioning, which is stocked with products (goods) to be redistributed to retailers, to wholesalers, or directly to consumers. Purpose of a Global Distribution Center (GDC) is to increase efficiency in warehouse management and reduction in cost of warehousing and cost of transpiration through maximum capacity utilization of the containers.

Global Distribution Center Project in Chittagong:
AKK proposes to establish a GDC at the port city of Chittagong, Bangladesh
As one of the leading countries in RMG supplies, Bangladesh has unique opportunity to avail the advantages of GDC for retail distribution of RMG and other products globally. AKK (A K Khan & Company Limited) proposes to establish a GDC at the port city of Chittagong about which Toray of Japan has shown its keen interest. It is to be mentioned that in this field of operation other reputed companies are also encouraged to participate for the purpose of expanding the facilities in the country.
To explore this global field of marketing we need adequate support and patronization by the Government of Bangladesh. As such you are requested to give due considerations on the subject matter and propose National Board of Revenue (NBR) to provide adequate facilities in this regard in the forthcoming budget of fiscal year 2017-18.
The Proposed GDC would be first of its kind in Bangladesh although it is already been introduced in many countries like USA, Singapore, China, Japan, Vietnam etc. Discussion between AKK and the Government Regulatory Bodies regarding GDC permission is currently in progress. The Impression from the government officials is to keep separate the GDC from ICD which was initially proposed along with ICD since multiparty consolidation change of goods ownership is not allowed in ICD as per existing procedures of Bangladesh. This might however change with the persuasion from the highest level.
AKK Land Suitable for Global Distribution Center:
The proposed location for the GDC is at the Alonkar Moor, Chittagong. AKK has sufficient required area around that location. Two of the warehouses are already been built with a total area of 88,000 sft which might initially be used for this purpose. AKK has the required logistics supports and ability to fulfill the other requirements as requested by Torray Group. 
Toray of Japan is interested to set up GDC warehouse in JV with AKK in the port city of Chittagong, to consolidate and use logistics for Uniqlo (Global RMG Supplier) of Japan. Toray wants to take the advantage of least cost involved in Bangladesh than that of Japan, Singapore or even Hong Kong. With the setup of GDC at Chittagong, Bangladesh will be facilitated to enter into the global supply chain.

Government activities:
i.   The Global Distribution Center area must be identified, to be bonded (billed).                 Keep 'Duty and Back System' on duty-free basis.
ii.   Permission for export of bonding through bonding is allowed.
iii.  Advance in import and export of goods.
iv.  The office of the National Board of Revenue will remain open for 24 hours,                    weekly for seven days.
v.    Global Distribution Center Established in every economic zone.
vi.   Giving 'Tex Holiday' to the Global Distribution Center

Conclusion: We hope Global Distribution Center will play a role in the national economy.
