Lugs & Glands for Bangladesh projects, made in India
What it takes to land lugs & glands on a Bangladesh site: the port they clear through, the standards a consultant will hold them to, and the paperwork that has to travel with them.
Getting lugs & glands into Bangladesh
Bangladesh is targeting 30 GW of solar by 2030 and imports most of the mounting structure it needs. Kolkata to Chittagong is a short haul, and that shows up directly in your landed cost rather than in a sales pitch. Freight is the easy part. BNBC compliance is what has to be evidenced document by document.

Lugs & Glands into Bangladesh — the questions that come up
Answered by the people who make the product, not a sales desk.
Cable lugs (copper/aluminium terminal connectors) typically export under HS 85369090 (other electrical apparatus for switching/connecting circuits) or 74199990 for some copper items; brass cable glands generally fall under HS 74199990 (other articles of copper/brass). Confirm the exact subheading for your specific product with your customs broker.
Cable lugs and glands fall under HSN 8536/7419 and attract 18% GST domestically. Exports are zero-rated under an LUT (no IGST) or shipped with IGST paid and refunded. An overseas buyer pays only their own country's import duty on the FOB/CIF price.
Crimp lugs are the modern standard: faster to install with the correct crimping tool, consistent electrical contact, and no risk of solder-joint fatigue from vibration or thermal cycling. Solder lugs still get specified on some legacy or very high-current specialist applications but are less common in new industrial installations. Confirm your site's installation tooling and standard practice before specifying solder.
Match the lug material to the cable conductor material: copper lugs for copper cable, aluminium lugs for aluminium cable. A mismatched bimetallic connection creates a galvanic corrosion risk at the joint over time. Where copper cable must terminate onto an aluminium busbar or vice versa, use a bimetallic (copper-aluminium) transition lug designed specifically for that junction, not a standard single-material lug.
IS 8309 (compression-type) and IS 12943 (heavy-duty) in India; DIN 46235, BS 4579, IEC 61238 internationally. Our lugs are produced to IS 8309/12943 with material test certificates that align with the DIN and IEC equivalents, accepted by most international EPCs.
