On this lane, shipments are commonly delayed or held if the product-specific Bangladesh import permission is missing or if the phytosanitary documentation does not match the cargo. For certain agricultural items such as rice, Indian export quantity registration can also be required for specific land customs movements, and border clearance slows if the registration is not in place.
