Practical guides on importing and sourcing from China to Bangladesh – covering freight, customs, suppliers, quality control and trade costs from the DE International team.
A cold room controller shows one point; a temperature mapping study shows the whole room. Here is how to run one — sensor grid, logging interval, empty and loaded, door and power challenges — how to read the results, and the WHO and PIC/S standards behind it.
Climacteric fruit like banana and mango is harvested green and ripened deliberately. A controlled ethylene chamber does it safely and evenly, controlling temperature, ethylene, humidity and air exchange. Here is how it works and why calcium carbide is banned.
The refrigerant named on your cold room quote decides efficiency, service availability and future gas cost. Here is what R404A, R134a, R449A/R448A, R290 and CO2 mean for a small buyer, why the Kigali phase-down matters, and what to specify in 2026.
Most post-harvest loss happens before produce reaches a cold store. Pre-cooling removes field heat fast, right after harvest. Here are room, forced-air, hydro, ice and vacuum cooling compared, target temperatures by crop, and how to build it into a Bangladeshi supply chain.
A telex release lets the carrier hand over your container without an original bill of lading, once the shipper surrenders the full set at origin. Here is how it works, when to use it, when not to accept it, and why it rarely applies under a letter of credit.
LCL and breakbulk freight is charged on the revenue ton: the greater of 1 cubic metre or 1,000 kg. Here is how the calculation works, why light and heavy cargo are billed differently, the 1 R/T minimum, and the destination charges that ride on the same unit.
A carrier-owned container comes with a detention clock; a shipper-owned or one-way-leased container does not. Here is how COC and SOC differ, when paying for an SOC is the cheaper option for a Bangladesh importer, and how to compare the two on total cost.
If you import an input, process it, and export the result, duty drawback through DEDO refunds the import duty you paid. Here is flat rate versus actual basis, the documents a claim needs, the time limit that loses most claims, and when a bond is the better fit.
A customs advance ruling is a binding decision on classification, valuation method or origin, issued before import. Here is what it covers, when it pays for itself, how to apply, and the limits of the protection it gives.
A single HS line in the Bangladesh tariff carries several duty columns, and they stack on each other in a set order. Here is how the cascade works, what Total Tax Incidence means, and how to estimate a rate before you order.
