Chattogram (Chittagong)
Handles ~90% of Bangladesh's containerised imports — default scrap port.
Aluminum Scrap Supply Line to Bangladesh
Bangladesh's aluminum industry has scaled rapidly on the back of construction, electrical fittings and consumer cookware demand. Local primary supply is effectively zero, so every gram of aluminum running through Bangladeshi extrusion plants and utensil foundries starts as imported scrap.
Nautica Metal Scrap B.V. ships directly from our Rotterdam yard to Chattogram (CTG) and Mongla — the two main scrap-handling ports in Bangladesh — in 20-ft containers of 22–25 MT. We handle PSI, COO and full BL documentation against your Bangladesh Bank-approved LC.
Our Bangladeshi buyers are extrusion plants in Narayanganj and Gazipur, utensil clusters in Dhaka and Cumilla, and secondary smelters across the country. We supply Tense, Tale, Taint Tabor, Taldon (baled UBC) and Tutu against firm bookings tied to LME and a transparent treatment charge.
Aimed at Bangladeshi extrusion plants, secondary aluminum smelters, utensil and cookware manufacturers, and licensed scrap importers with TIN and IRC.
Bangladesh Importing Considerations
- Importer must hold a valid IRC (Import Registration Certificate) and TIN.
- Bangladesh Bank LC is the standard payment instrument; back-to-back LC also acceptable.
- Customs duty under the Bangladesh Customs Tariff currently includes CD, RD, SD and VAT — confirm with your C&F agent.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) regime applies; SGS or BV reports are standard.
- Department of Environment (DoE) clearance often required for industrial waste imports — non-hazardous declaration on PSI helps clearance.
