Export from China to Bangladesh - Screening process for manufacturers

Specific regulations and processes apply to all items being exported from China. Compliance to these government export requirements is assessed through a screening process requiring manufactures to submit online all of the required documentation and information using the following Electronic Submission Site: https://www.aliwork.com/o/export/admission#/.

This process provides verification of the manufacturer’s technical qualifications as well as their documentation and their documented products.

Partners should note that it is important to select manufacturers who are authorized by the government to export and to adhere to all of the procedures in place to ensure a smooth export process. No cargo can be accepted at the Guangzhou hub until all the necessary documentation is in place.

Please find the process flow on how to submit requests and check of manufacturers’ compliance here.

Further information on procedures and documentation specific to China can be found here.
