Load container and transport to port (airport) of departure

Activities and Associated Documentary Requirements: 1. As per the transport contract, the inland haulage company collects the goods from the factory premises and transports them to the port. In a normal situation, it takes between eight and 10 hours for a consignment to reach Chittagong Port from Dhaka. 2. On arrival, the CFA requests entry of the vehicle into the port area (or if the goods are to be taken to a private container terminal, the vehicle goes directly to the private depot). 3. The Port Authority or Private Depot then records details of the truck/container and issues an entry pass allowing the truck/container to enter the controlled area. The date and time of entry of the truck/container is officially recorded. 4. The goods are then taken to the designated area where cargo inspection is to take place.
