When shipping from Chittagong to Shanghai, anticipate significant delays due to the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December) and the southwest monsoon (June-September). Include additional buffer days for potential port closures and arrange flexible ETAs/ETDs in contracts. During the northeast monsoon (November-March), account for rough seas that may extend transit times. Additionally, expect reduced operations during the Eid al Fitr (March-June) and Golden Week (October 1-7) holidays, confirming all documentation is completed well in advance.

Shipping temperature-sensitive medicines necessitates Validated insulated packaging, suitable refrigerants, and unbroken temperature monitoring. Select an express service where possible, pre-cool gel packs, and include a data logger in the carton to verify that medical drugs stayed within their labeled temperature range.
Fragile glass vials of Medicines must be packed in cell dividers with Top and bottom cushioning. Set trays inside a double-walled box and block and brace with void-fill so nothing moves. For moisture-sensitive medical drugs, pair this with moisture-barrier inner bags and desiccants.
International shipments of Pharmaceutical goods typically demand a detailed commercial invoice, packing list, and any authorizations required by the importing country. Many destinations also ask for Certificates of Analysis, proof of GDP-compliant handling, and clear temperature instructions for cold-chain medicines. Double-check requirements with your customs broker before shipping.
For moisture-sensitive Medicines, select moisture-proof inner liners plus desiccant sachets inside the packaging. Seal cartons tightly, avoid damaged boxes, and select transport options that reduce exposure to rain and high humidity, such as covered docks and climate-controlled linehaul for medical drugs.
High-value Pharma products generally need tailored cargo insurance that covers temperature excursions, breakage, and theft. Work with an insurer familiar with pharmaceutical goods, specify the full replacement value, and retain temperature and handling records so claims can be processed efficiently if something goes wrong.
Pharmaceuticals require temperature-controlled environments to maintain efficacy, and specific handling procedures must be followed to prevent contamination and damage. Proper packaging, labeling, and monitoring of temperature during transit are essential.
Shipping pharmaceuticals from Bangladesh to China necessitates compliance with both countries' regulatory standards, including obtaining necessary permits, adhering to safety and quality control standards, and ensuring that all documentation, such as invoices and certificates of analysis, is complete and accurate for customs clearance.
