Export from Bangladesh to France

France combines a large South Asian community around Paris with a strong Maghrebi and West African grocery trade that buys the same tropical vegetables, and it is a practical entry point for onward movement across the EU.

What a consignment needs to clear

TRACES NT pre-notification

A CHED-PP is raised in TRACES NT before arrival. We supply the certificate references, establishment details and consignment data at booking.

Reinforced controls list

Certain plant lines from certain origins carry a raised sampling frequency under EU Regulation 2019/1793. We tell you before contracting which of your lines are affected and at what check rate.

REX origin declaration

Our REX registration allows a statement on origin for GSP preference, which removes duty on most horticultural lines.

EU labelling

French-language labelling with allergen and origin declarations to EU rules, produced from your artwork with a digital proof before printing.

Document set for France

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Air waybill or bill of lading
  • Certificate of origin (EUR.1 / REX declaration)
  • Phytosanitary certificate
  • CHED reference from TRACES NT

Rules change. Treat this page as a working checklist and confirm the live position with us and with your customs broker before you contract.
