South AsiaChemical Supplier & Exporter to Bangladesh
Bangladesh's pharmaceutical industry supplies almost all domestic medicine demand and exports widely, yet it imports most of its APIs and intermediates, much of it from India. The garment and textile sector around Gazipur, Narayanganj and Savar consumes dyes, auxiliaries and finishing chemicals on a huge scale, and QC labs in both industries need reagents and reference standards. We ship to Chattogram by sea, to Dhaka by air, and by road via the Petrapole–Benapole border where suitable.

Bangladeshi importers need an Import Registration Certificate and normally open a letter of credit through their bank. APIs and pharma raw materials must be approved by the DGDA (often through an approved raw-material block list), flammable solvents need Department of Explosives licences, and precursor chemicals require clearance from the Department of Narcotics Control. Goods of Indian origin may claim SAFTA or APTA preferences.
