BSTI Clearance and Certification Support for Bangladesh Importers
Not every import shipment clears customs based on documentation alone. Products listed under Bangladesh’s mandatory quality certification program require approval from BSTI (Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution) before customs releases the shipment. Our BSTI clearance service manages this approval process alongside your complete import documentation, ensuring faster customs clearance and full regulatory compliance.
Which Products Require BSTI Clearance?
BSTI clearance is mandatory for a wide range of imported products, including food and beverages, cosmetics, sanitary ware, electrical and electronic products, cement, steel products, LPG equipment, batteries, and many other regulated items. Customs will not release these products until the required BSTI approval has been obtained.
If you are unsure whether your products fall under the mandatory certification list, our team will verify the requirements before your shipment arrives, helping you avoid unnecessary delays and additional costs.
Sample Testing and Certification Mark (CM) Licensing
For many regulated products, BSTI collects product samples for laboratory testing before issuing the necessary clearance certificate. Manufacturers producing regulated products within Bangladesh may also require a Certification Mark (CM) Licence. This licence involves factory inspections and quality verification and is generally valid for three years.
Whether you need BSTI approval for a single import shipment or long-term CM licensing for local manufacturing, our specialists will guide you through every step of the process.
BSTI Clearance as Part of the Import Process
BSTI approval is only one stage of the overall import procedure. Our Import Clearance Service coordinates HS Code verification, customs documentation, duty assessment, and BSTI certification together, providing a smooth and efficient import experience from shipment arrival to final delivery.
