Procedure for Transhipment of Export Cargo from Bangladesh to third countries through Land Customs Stations (LCSs) to Port / Airport, in containers or closed bodied trucks

Transhipment of export cargo via land customs stations continues under specified procedural framework, pending SCMTR implementation.

Transhipment of export cargo from Bangladesh via designated Land Customs Stations to specified ports and aircargo complexes continues under Circular 42/2018-Customs procedures for identified road and rail routes until the Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations are implemented, after which SCMTR procedure will apply. An additional Petrapole-to-Delhi Air Cargo road route is authorized under the same procedure. SCMTR prescribes a transhipment form, mandates carrier track-and-trace and sealing obligations for land transhipment, and carriers may use the existing Electronic Cargo Tracking System and ECTS seals provided under a pilot program.
