No quality test for imported bitumen! Staff Correspondent 17th May, 2021 10:42:29 In absence of proper testing of imported bitumen, low-quality bitumen is entering the country and consequently being used in road construction.  It has been learnt that imported bitumen is entering the country without any certification and approval from Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI), Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). Bangladesh is mostly dependent on imported bitumen. The country imports 80 per cent of its total bitumen demand while state-owned Eastern Refinery produces the rest 20 per cent. The entire volume of imported bitumen enters the country just only based on the import orders through the Customs.
