Fresh fruits export from Bangladesh to Qatar
Seasonal Bangladeshi fruit that no other origin supplies: bel, kodbel, amloki, jolpai, chalta, kamranga, sofeda, lotkon and green mango, air freighted at the right maturity rather than the convenient one. On the Qatar lane, clearance runs through GSO standards and Al-Nadeeb customs clearance.

Remaining shelf life
A minimum proportion of shelf life must remain at entry, planned against the flight schedule.
Arabic labelling
Arabic and English on retail packs with origin clearly declared.
Why this lane works for fresh fruits
Qatar buyers on this line are typically wholesale market traders, supermarket suppliers, catering companies. On the air route the consignment is 5-7 hours from Dhaka, which for a product with a shelf life of 10 to 21 days depending on the line leaves ample selling time on arrival. Supply runs year round, so a standing weekly or fortnightly booking is straightforward to hold.
Full grading, packing and variety detail is on the Fresh fruits product page; the entry rules and document set for every line into this country are on the Qatar market page.
