Customs and Shipment Requirements

01-Jan-2008

Bangladesh 25th January 2008

Customs: Please be advised that it has been observed by Bangladesh Customs that most of the European and few Asian countries are using their own language to describe the articles/commodities instead of English and also, sometimes are giving a wrong article description, value or weight. Bangladesh Customs are using sharp blades to cut the packages to verify the actual product and this may lead to damaging valuable goods of the customers. Bangladesh Customs have informed TNT that they will not accept any invoices other than in English. It is also advised that Bangladesh Customs have declared that any mis-declared consignment will be seized and the consignee has to apply to the customs explaining the reason of mis-declaration which will lead to delayed customs clearances. Keeping the above points in mind please be informed that the following requirements must be met in order to ensure hassle-free clearance of inbound shipments into Bangladesh:



* Invoices : Must be in English only

• Invoice Descriptions: Detailed goods description for each individual item. Vague descriptions such as "parts", samples, gift etc. are not acceptable.
