The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has rescinded the transshipment of Bangladeshi export cargo to third countries through Indian Land Customs Stations. Effective 08 April 2025, this decision could significantly disrupt Bangladesh’s export logistics and increase costs.

Key Implications:

• Higher Air Freight Rates: Expect rising costs from Dhaka due to limited capacity and high demand.
• Dhaka Airport Congestion: Seasonal bottlenecks may worsen, affecting turnaround times and service levels.
• Longer Transit Times: Cargo once routed through India faces fewer direct airline options, extending delivery schedules.

With air freight capacity squeezed, Bangladesh might increasingly rely on SEA-AIR multimodal solutions—shipping cargo by sea to major hubs like Dubai or Singapore, then flying onward. This can help secure more airline options, reduce congestion risks, and often lower shipping-related carbon emissions by up to 40%–50% compared to direct air freight.

At PAM Cargo, we remain committed to supporting your supply chain. When challenges arise, our SEA-AIR experts help you adapt quickly and keep your exports flowing.

The protest at Chattogram Port, which erupted on Tuesday Night (04th February 2025), has brought the container movement to a standstill. This suspension is a direct result of a clash between the truck drivers and Chattogram DC Park security staff, severely impacting the port’s operations.

In the last day and a half, not a single export or import container was transported between the port and 21 private inland container depots.

As of today (06th February 2025), the disruption at Chattogram Port continues. The ongoing strike initiated by the truckers’ association has effectively halted container movements at the port.

Our understanding is that the clash on 04th February 2025 was a misunderstanding between the truck drivers and the security personnel at the DC Park, stemming from a road accident. This led to a protest that resulted in the blocking of all port gates and roads.

Despite discussion between the truckers’ association and the relevant authorities, no resolution has been reached as of 06th February 2025 at 11 am GMT.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this challenging time. Rest assured, we are actively monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as soon as we have more information.
