Overview of the HaeDream Portal as a DX Innovation Case

KOTRA's overseas certification and logistics portal, 'HaeDream,' is a digital transformation platform that provides Korean exporters with one-stop support for overseas certification acquisition and logistics management. By integrating formerly fragmented certification, testing, inspection, and logistics services into a single portal, the platform has significantly reduced the time and cost burden on exporters. Companies shipping to Bangladesh can also use the portal to manage essential local compliance requirements such as BSTI certification and halal certification more efficiently.

Food and cosmetics exporters can use the service to match with testing bodies and automate documentation for halal certification, which is often a market-entry requirement.
03
Manage Logistics in One Flow
After certification is completed, exporters can coordinate logistics through Chattogram port and inland delivery to Dhaka in one system to save both time and cost.
04
Automate Customs Documentation
The portal helps generate documentation required by Bangladesh customs and the National Board of Revenue (NBR), reducing the risk of customs delays.
