Shipping goods between Qatar and Bangladesh requires careful documentation and adherence to customs regulations to ensure smooth clearance and transit. Yes2Qatar, a trusted freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export paperwork is accurately prepared and processed, preventing delays. Below is a comprehensive guide to the required documentation for shipping between these two countries.

Bill of Lading (Sea Freight) Air Waybill (Air Freight): These documents serve as proof of shipment, outlining cargo details, shipper and consignee information, and the mode of transport. Yes2Qatar ensures that all necessary shipping documents are completed correctly to avoid transit disruptions.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If applicable, this reference allows customs authorities to track shipments and facilitate clearance.

For goods exported from Qatar, the following documents must be provided

Commercial Invoice: A document detailing product descriptions, HS codes, unit pricing, total shipment value, and applicable currency. Yes2Qatar ensures that invoices comply with Qatars customs regulations.

Packing List: A breakdown of the shipments contents, including weight, dimensions, and packaging type, which assists customs authorities in processing goods efficiently.

Certificate of Origin (CoO): This document certifies the country of manufacture and must be issued by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce. Yes2Qatar assists in obtaining and legalizing this certificate when required.

Export Declaration (Qatar): A required submission to Qatari customs before the shipment leaves the country. Yes2Qatar ensures the correct filing to prevent clearance issues.

Product Conformity Certificate (CoC) (If Required): Certain regulated products, such as pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and industrial machinery, may require a CoC to confirm compliance with export regulations. Yes2Qatar provides guidance on whether this document is necessary.

Yes2Qatar does not handle customs clearance in Bangladesh, so importers must ensure they have the necessary documentation for Bangladeshi customs authorities.

Import License (If Required): Some goods, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and restricted items, require an import license from Bangladeshi authorities before shipment.

Customs Import Declaration (Bill of Entry): This document must be submitted to Bangladesh Customs before the shipment can be cleared.

Bangladesh Trade Tariff Commission Certificate (If Applicable): Certain imported goods may require certification to confirm compliance with Bangladeshi import standards.

Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) (If Required): Some shipments entering Bangladesh may require a CTN for tracking purposes. Importers should confirm whether this document is necessary.

Phytosanitary Certificate: Required for agricultural and plant-based shipments to verify compliance with Bangladeshs health and safety regulations. Yes2Qatar assists in obtaining this certification before export.

Veterinary Certificate: Necessary for shipments containing animal-based goods to ensure they meet Bangladeshs import health standards.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) Bangladesh: Some regulated imports, including industrial equipment, used vehicles, and food products, may require pre-shipment inspection before departure. Importers should confirm PSI requirements before shipping to prevent customs clearance delays.

Legalization of Documents: Some documents, such as the Commercial Invoice and Certificate of Origin, may need to be legalized by the Bangladeshi embassy or consulate before export. Yes2Qatar provides document legalization assistance for exporters in Qatar.

Labeling Requirements: Goods imported into Bangladesh must be labeled correctly, including product descriptions, manufacturer details, country of origin, and expiration dates for perishable goods. Yes2Qatar ensures that shipments comply with these regulations before export.

Restricted Prohibited Imports: Bangladesh has specific import restrictions on hazardous materials, second-hand consumer goods, and restricted chemicals. Importers should verify compliance with local regulations before finalizing shipments.
