How to use EXP Tools

Everything from first sign-in to your first hundred EXP — in plain steps. Prefer watching? See the video tutorials.

Getting started

You need a Windows 10 or 11 PC and an internet connection. No installation or admin rights are needed.

  1. Create an account on this website with your email and mobile number. New accounts are approved by us — you will be able to sign in to the app after approval.
  2. Download the app from your dashboard (or download it now). It is a ZIP file — right-click it and choose Extract All.
  3. Open EXP-Tools.exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. This happens only the first time.
  4. Sign in with the same email and password you use on this website. Your account is linked to this PC.
Tip: keep the app in one folder (for example Documents) and pin it to the taskbar. Your results and PDFs are saved in Documents → EXP Tools.

Signing in to the Bangladesh Bank portal

The app opens the EXP portal inside its own window. You always sign in to the portal yourself — the app never presses Login for you. This keeps your portal account safe: three wrong passwords lock it.

  1. On the app home screen, open any tool. The portal sign-in page appears.
  2. Type your portal user name and password, or click Fill next to a saved login in the side panel.
  3. Click the portal's own Login button.
  4. After a successful sign-in the app offers to Save login. Saved logins are encrypted with Windows on your PC and are never sent to our server. You can save several portal users.
Session expired? When the portal signs you out, the run stops at that row. Sign in again and press Start — it continues from the same row, and every row already done is kept.

EXP Issue

Creates EXP from your Excel rows: fills all fields on the "EXP Issue by Exporter" page, clicks Create and records the new EXP number for each row.

1. Prepare the Excel sheet

Use one row per EXP with the header in row 1. The column order matters — start from the template. Download the template

ColumnWhat goes in it
A, BSerial and your own notes (not sent to the portal)
CMaster LC / Contract No — exactly as on the portal
D – YImporter, Commodity code, Incoterm, Country, Unit, Quantity, Invoice No / Date / Amount, CMT, Freight, Insurance, Other charges, Carrier, Destination port, Transport doc type / no / date, Port of shipment, Sector, Signatory, Remarks

Dates can be Excel dates or dd/mm/yyyy. Drop-down values (Incoterm, Country, Unit…) must match the portal's text.

2. Run it

  1. Open EXP Issue in the app and sign in to the portal.
  2. In the side panel click Choose Excel / CSV file and pick your sheet. Check the row count.
  3. Tick Download the PDF after each Create if you want the PDFs right away.
  4. Press Start from row 1. The panel shows each row live — filled, created, EXP number.
  5. When it finishes, open Results: a copy of your sheet with the EXP No for every row.
You can minimise the app and keep working — it runs at full speed in the background. Press Stop at any time; the next Start continues from where it stopped.

Duplicate Reporting

Searches each EXP on the Duplicate Reporting page, fills the fields shown, ticks the acknowledgement and clicks Apply Changes.

1. Prepare the Excel sheet

Columns are read by header name, so their order does not matter and extra columns are fine. Download the template

  • Required: ADSCODE, EXP Serial, EXP Year (or one EXP_NO column like 00002859-122595-2026).
  • Filled when the portal shows the field: Freight, CMT, Insurance, Other charges, Custom Office, Bill of Export No and Date, Shipment Date, Acknowledge Date, Transport Doc type / no / date, Invoice No and Date.
  • Write APPLY in Remarks on the rows you want submitted — when any row has APPLY, the others are skipped.

2. Run it

  1. Open EXP Duplicate in the app and sign in to the portal.
  2. Click Choose DUP Excel file, check the rows, then press Start from row 1.
  3. Each row is marked saved, skipped or failed (for example "EXP not found") in the panel and in the result file in Results.

EXP PDF download

Downloads EXP PDFs in bulk and names them EXP_serial_year_InvoiceNo.pdf.

  1. Open EXP Download in the app (sign in to the portal if asked).
  2. Copy the rows from Excel — AD Code, EXP Serial, Year and optionally Invoice No — or full 18-digit EXP numbers, and paste them into the panel. Download the template
  3. Click Load pasted data, then Start download.
  4. PDFs are saved in Documents → EXP Tools → PDF. Files that already exist are skipped.
After an EXP Issue run, click Send to Download to load the new EXP numbers straight into the downloader.

Points & payments

ActionPoints
EXP Issue (one EXP created)5
Duplicate Reporting (one EXP saved)5
PDF download1

Points are charged only for work that succeeds. If the portal rejects a row, the points come back automatically.

  1. Go to Buy points in your dashboard (or Recharge in the app) and choose a package.
  2. Send the amount by bKash or Nagad to the number shown.
  3. Enter your sender number and the Transaction ID. Points are added as soon as we verify it.

Troubleshooting

"This account is registered on another PC"

Each account works on a fixed number of PCs. Contact support to move it to the new computer.

"A newer version is required"

Download the latest app from your dashboard and replace the old EXP-Tools.exe. Your saved logins and results stay.

A field is not filled

Check that the Excel value matches the portal's drop-down text exactly (spaces and spelling). The row stops instead of guessing, and its points are refunded.

We are updating something on our side. Please wait a little and try again — your work is not lost.
