Customs Clearance in Bangladesh: The Document Checklist
OdooBot

A shipment does not stop at the sea. It stops at paperwork. Here is the core set of documents you need to export from Bangladesh.

The core documents

  • Commercial invoice.
  • Packing list.
  • Bill of lading or airway bill.
  • Certificate of origin where required.
  • Bank documents if payment runs on a letter of credit.

What trips people up

Mismatched descriptions between invoice and packing list, missing inspection certificates for regulated goods, and late bank documents on LC shipments. Any one can hold cargo at the gate.

Our promise

KWT prepares papers as the cargo moves, not after it arrives. No late documentation fee, and if something is missing you hear it from us first, with time to fix it.
