...between buyers and sellers become critical as each can opt to explore a greater number of alternatives than before. E-commerce through the use of internet, e-mails, websites and other facilities enables a businessman to be linked with every corner of the world and thus opens up greater opportunities in the world market. As a signatory of WTO practices Bangladesh has accepted The Code of Good Practices of WTO agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade. E-commerce facilitates the very process of International transactions; this involves securing and finalizing a contract, delivery of a product and finally payment for the performance of the product. The movement of goods and services and payment mechanism within a country and outside of a country is governed by regulatory and legal issues. Though Bangladesh Govt. has a strategic vision and policy framework to boost up e-commerce, a lot of factors are also hindering the way of doing E-commerce. Definition of E-Commerce: E-Commerce refers to the process of buying or selling products or service over an electronic network. The most popular medium in which e-commerce is conducted is the internet. It combines a range of process such as: • Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). • Electronic mail (E-mail). • World Wide Web (WWW). • Internet Applications. • Network Applications.

...Executive Summary The Internet has opened up a new horizon for trade and commerce, namely electronic commerce (e-commerce). E-commerce entails the use of the Internet in the marketing, identification, payment and delivery of goods and services. This paper highlights the status, statutes, potential and constraints to e-commerce development in Bangladesh. Both the statutory laws as well as the challenges in implementing them are discussed. Major legal, regulatory and institutional constraints to e-commerce are identified. The paper also lists specific policy changes aimed at bringing improvements to the legal and regulatory environment affecting e-commerce. Dimensions of E-Commerce The three dimensions of e-commerce are Business-to-Consumers (B2C), Business-to Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G). B2C e-commerce is unlikely to be of much use in the near future in Bangladesh because of low per capita income, a weak infrastructural and legal environment, lack of trust between business and consumers. B2C for cross border trade is also limited by the factors suggested for the domestic front. In addition, non-availability of international credit cards, foreign currency remittance restrictions, delays and informal payments at customs clearance even for small value and quantity items will discourage B2C. The B2B application already exists in the export sector of Bangladesh, especially in the Ready Made Garments (RMG) industry. RMG has the lion’s share of the...

...I. E - COMMERCE Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown dramatically since the spread of the Internet. A wide variety of commerce is conducted in this way, spurring and drawing on innovations in electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), automated inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web at least at some point in the transaction's lifecycle, although it can encompass a wider range of technologies such as e-mail as well. A small percentage of electronic commerce is conducted entirely electronically for "virtual" items such as access to premium content on a website, but most electronic commerce involves the transportation of physical items in some way. Online retailers are sometimes known as e-tailers and online retail is known as e-tail. E-commerce or electronic commerce is generally considered to be the sales aspect of e-business. If we want to define a term e – commerce we can choose between various definitions. According WTO it is “production, distribution, marketing, selling and expedition of goods and services by using of electronical measures.” According the Commission that formulates...
