Capital: Dhaka

Overview

Bangladesh (ISO-Code: BD) is located in South Asia, nestled between India and Myanmar, with a coastline along the Bay of Bengal. Politically, the country is a parliamentary republic with challenging government structures and growing economic significance in the region. The climate is subtropical-monsoonal, characterized by hot summers, humid rainy seasons, and mild winters. Economically, Bangladesh is heavily focused on textile and apparel production, agriculture, and services, with clothing exports accounting for the majority of foreign exchange earnings. Foreign trade is centered on clothing, leather goods, and agricultural products, while the country is heavily reliant on imports for machinery, energy, consumer goods, and raw materials. Bangladesh plays a significant transit role for regional trade through ports such as Chittagong and Mongla, as well as inland waterways. The national currency is the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT), which governs national payment transactions. The logistical infrastructure includes road, rail, and waterways that efficiently support the transport of goods. Thanks to its geographical location and growing economy, Bangladesh is a central player in trade and logistics in South Asia.

Customs / Import / Export (Asia)

Quick operational overview for international shipments to Asia. Product requirements, certificates, and clearance processes can vary significantly by destination.

Documents (typical)
  • Commercial invoice (description, value, Incoterms)
  • Packing list (weights, dimensions, packages)
  • HS code / tariff classification
  • Proof of origin / preference docs (where relevant)
  • Depending on goods: certificates/compliance documents
Process (simplified)
  • Prepare export + complete documentation
  • Import clearance (broker/agent, potential inspections)
  • Release, duties/taxes, and delivery
Common pitfalls
  • Missing product/certificate requirements → delays
  • Misaligned HS code/classification → wrong charges
  • Incoterms/responsibility unclear → cost disputes
  • Inconsistent documents (invoice vs packing list)
Important: Requirements depend on goods, origin, Incoterms, value, and consignee. When in doubt, confirm with your broker/forwarder and official sources.
