Chattogram Customs House has taken an initiative to auction eight unusable vehicles lying on its premises.
The auction list includes four Mitsubishi Pajeros, three Toyota Saloons and one Toyota Land Cruiser. Manufactured between 1991 and 2009, the vehicles will be sold in their existing condition. However, they are not eligible for re-registration.
The information was disclosed in an auction notice issued by the Administration Branch of Chattogram Customs House on Monday (November 9).
The notice, signed by Assistant Commissioner (Preventive and Administration) Sharif Muhammad Al Amin, invited sealed tenders from interested individuals and organisations.
According to the notice, bidders must submit their offers to the designated tender box at Chattogram Customs House by 12:00 noon on November 25. The tenders will be opened at 12:30 pm on the same day in the presence of bidders.
The four Mitsubishi Pajeros are models of 2009, 2004, 2000 and 1995, while the three Toyota Saloons are models of 1996, 1996 and 1995. The Toyota Land Cruiser dates back to 1991. All eight vehicles were manufactured in Japan.
The catalogue and tender documents can be collected from the Tender Cell during office hours between November 10 and November 24. Each set of documents costs Tk 500 per vehicle, payable through a designated treasury challan. The amount is non-refundable.
Bidders must also submit a pay order equivalent to 10 per cent of the reserve price of each vehicle as security deposit.
The required documents include an updated trade licence, where applicable, income tax certificate, VAT registration certificate and a copy of the bidder’s national identity card.
Organisations must submit their bids on their official letterheads, while individual bidders must use plain paper, providing their names, full addresses and contact details.
Interested buyers can inspect the vehicles at the Chattogram Customs House premises between 12:00 noon and 4:00 pm on working days.
The notice clearly states that the vehicles, having been declared unusable, are not eligible for re-registration.
