A word of counsel

The Bangladesh-origin restriction under Para 19 is conditional and not blanket: importers frequently overlook the Para 2 and Para 3 exemptions, which may permit certain wooden furniture parts to move freely. Equally, importers sourcing from third countries that transit through Bangladesh should verify that the goods are not treated as Bangladesh-origin at the bill of entry, as an incorrect country-of-origin declaration attracts port-restriction enforcement and potential confiscation under the Customs Act, 1962.
