Bangladesh is open to foreign trade. The country represents a passageway in the core of India and its Eastern provinces. Customs duties in Bangladesh are relatively high; however, the country is implementing a series of measures including concessional tariffs, a customs duty recovery system and export processing zones, in order to reduce these barriers. Since 2011, the country benefits from more simplified procedures and regulations applied by the European Union in order to favor the products that come from the LDC countries (least developed countries). 

 

Import Regulation:

Importer Business Identification Number (BIN) is required on all import documents. Most goods imported into Bangladesh, regardless of entered value, are required to submit to a Pre-Shipment Inspection.
