Bringing a pet to Bangladesh: import rules

Dhaka anchors most pet movement into Bangladesh, expat NGO postings, diplomatic households, and returning Bangladeshi families all routing through Hazrat Shahjalal International. The Department of Livestock Services issues the import permit; microchip, current rabies vaccination, and a vet-stamped health certificate are baseline. The regulatory framework is moderate, but arrival coordination and clearance windows can vary by airline and time of day, making local handler experience the difference between smooth and stressful.
