Britain has always had a strong trade relationship with Bangladesh. This makes understanding import requirements to this small Asian nation crucial.
Bangladesh is a relatively-new country, founded in 1971. Until that time, the country was a part of Pakistan, but feuding caused a split that created this small but populous nation. Bangladesh has just over 164 million citizens crammed into a mere 144,000 square kilometres, earning the area the designation as one of the most densely-populated nations in the world. Despite the strong working base, the economy of Bangladesh is hurting. Widespread unemployment leads to high poverty rates. Illegal immigration from Bangladesh is a distinct problem for neighbouring nations as the citizens seek for viable employment wherever they can find it. Political upset and rivalry have also taken their toll upon the nation. Bangladesh is an anomaly in the Middle East, however, as the two main political rivals are women; this is especially significant when you consider that the country is mainly Islamic and Hindu in religious affiliation.
While challenges remain in Bangladesh, there have been improvements that appear promising. The country's leadership has worked hard to reduce the out-of-control population growth, address poverty and focus on the country's health and education. While agriculture is still the major source of economic strength in the nation, gas has recently become a growing sector in Bangladesh. The country is also a strong producer of textiles, tea, rice, fish, leather, mangoes, mustard, bananas, potatoes and onions.
The United Kingdom does have strong connections to Bangladesh. A significant number of British businesses either have offices in the country or partner with companies in Bangladesh. Also, there are extensive familial and social connections between the two nations, making private shipments frequent.
While Bangladesh does restrict and prohibit some items from importation, they also publish a list of products that are exempt from customs. In most cases, these products promote industries or concerns that the government wishes to encourage.
Exempted products include:
Prohibitions and restrictions are in place for other categories of goods. This list includes:
The National Board of Revenue governs all customs and import concerns; to find out more information about prohibitions and restrictions, see their website found here.
Useful Information
While most packages sent for import into Bangladesh will be subject to the Value Added Text, some items may be exempt. The flat rate for the VAT is 15 per cent; however, importers who are considered "cottage industries" do not have to pay the VAT. Importers who wish to be designated as a cottage industry must keep their annual imports under a specified amount.
To expedite the importation process, Bangladesh makes it customs forms available on their website, referenced above. This also provides an easy to contact the National Board of Revenue directly for questions or clarification.
We also have information regarding Burma, China and India in the region.

Sent parcel from UK to Bangladesh on Wednesday, there by following Monday. Very good, will use again.

Good service and easy to use the website, but be warned if you dont give accurate measurements for your item they will charge your card afterwards-my item was 200g over and I was charged a full kilo extra so just be aware of this.
Very easy to use and parcel arrived on time. Will definitely use again.
More and more I had labels not clear, my postage happens on Fridays 5 pm and I end up having to wait til Monday, missing my Etsy cut off for my orders tracking notes. This error message started causing me to lose credibility points with my customers and Etsy score. The time I post, is due to a series of factors and I do not see why its so hard to have labels instantly or reply until 8pm if the MonkeyParcel service is open until 8pm. When I asked what I can do different to avoid the labels not generating, I get no reply. I mainly used UPS via Parcel monkey, my impression in the past was that they have a solid reliability. This week i spent 3 days waiting in from 8-6 for UPS to come and collect a parcel to was too large to drop off with my usual shop, according to them. Not showing up, giving me full day pick up windows, in this day and age of tech and precision it’s just not ok. I now booked RM via a different broker and they gave me the morning off from window staring, having a 4 hour afternoon slot, which is great because, I am in desperate need to get to the supermarket after being stuck at home for all those days. I think my case is made that my loyalty has run thin and I am changing providers.
