Customs in Bangladesh

When sending to Bangladesh, every parcel goes through customs clearance. Unless you're sending documents, there are no exemptions to duties and taxes, so everything that you send will have import fees applied by customs in Bangladesh. These can range from 5% to 20%, depending on the item and the purpose for import and they cannot be paid in advance.

Parcelcompare makes it easy by generating your customs paperwork for you when you place your order, but there are some other key points to remember. Parcels worth less than $20 CAD will not have duties and taxes applied, whilst parcels worth between $20 and $2,500 will go through normal customs. Packages worth more than $2,500 will have to pass through formal clearance.

Collection & Delivery

Courier Collection

We collect across the UK and Bangladesh, on the same day from some locations.

For heavy parcels over 50kg, or large parcels over 180 cm in length, you will need to book a day in advance when posting to Bangladesh, and you will also need to provide the courier with assistance in loading and unloading.

If you're sending a pallet or a freight item requiring a tail lift or pallet truck, please contact our customer care team prior to collection.

Bangladesh Delivery

Unless you have used one of our timed delivery services, delivery is made between 9am and 7pm on working days, and we make three delivery attempts as standard.

Some couriers such as UPS and FedEx may leave goods un-signed for in a porch or another safe place. If you must have a signature, please use the upgrade option 'Signature required' on our 'select service page'
If you're sending a heavy package to Bangladesh, you'll need to provide the driver with assistance unloading.

Bangladesh Parcel Tracking

Parcelcompare's courier services include real-time parcel track and trace that follows your parcel from when you hand it over to your courier all the way until it is in the hands of the receiver in Bangladesh. If there's a problem, the status of your package will be changed to 'exception', and we will email you to let you know exactly why there is a delay. That means that no matter what might happen, you know that your parcel is in great hands.

To get started, simply enter your parcels tracking number into our tracking tool.

Sending Gifts to Bangladesh

There is no gift exemption for sending gifts to Bangladesh. This means that even gifts with low values will have duties and taxes applied, which will be charged to the recipient. Duties and taxes can be between five and 20%, depending on what is being sent and why.

When sending gifts, you shouldn't just call them "gifts" on the customs form – instead write a full description, such as “Gift – children's clothes” This will help make sure that your package clears customs without any problems.

  1. When shipping to Bangladesh, personal effects are considered items used by only one person. You could send clothing as personal effects, for example, but not towels.

  2. If you do want to send goods that are used by multiple people, they're considered 'household effects' and are treated as completely different during the customs clearance process.

  3. Always be totally clear and thorough with customs forms when sending personal goods to Bangladesh.

Sending food to Bangladesh

There are plenty of great opportunities to send food to Bangladesh, whether it's a gift for a special occasion or someone you know has had enough of Bhaji and Dal and is missing the unique taste of home.

Not all foods can be sent via courier however, so check out our guidelines below to see if the snacks you're sending are suitable.

There are no exemptions when sending to Bangladesh, so even though food is low value, you will have to pay customs duties and taxes. The recipient will be contacted to pay these fees before the package is cleared from customs.

What you can send:

Non-perishable foods

  • Store bought foods with a best before date over 6 months away

  • Items must be in the original manufacturers packaging and unopened

  • The food label needs to list all the ingredients

  • The best before date must be displayed on the packaging

  • Examples of pershable foods: Crisp and savory foods, Chocolates and candy, Canned foods, Herbs and Spices in sealed containers, tea bags, Jams and other preserves

What you cannot send:

Perishable foods

  • Foods with a shelf life of less than 6 months

  • Homemade foods or any foods not in the original manufacturers packaging

  • Foods that can spoil during transit

  • Food in packaging that have been opened

  • Food that does not contain a food label listing the ingredients

Packaging your Parcel

Shipping a parcel halfway around the world is a complex process, and by the time it arrives in the hands of your recipient, it will have changed hands many times. To make sure that it gets there in the same condition it leaves in, you should make sure to properly package your goods.

There are three key points to keep in mind while you're packing up your goods if you'd like them to arrive in great condition:

1. BOX STRENGTH

When you're shipping internationally, it's important to use a brand new box. Old boxes may appear sturdy, but may be hiding a weakness that could lead to a box bursting in transit. Parcelcompare suggests using a double corrugated box for goods heavier than 10kg.

2. INTERNAL PACKAGING

Be generous with internal packaging. Wrap your goods separately with a good amount of bubble wrap, and make sure to fill your box with plenty of peanuts or packing paper. When your goods are in the box, no part should be touching the walls, and they shouldn't move when the box is shaken.

3. LABELLING AND TAPING

If you're using an old box, remove all previous labelling and add your new labels. Using packing tape, you should wrap completely around the box three times in a Union Flag pattern, paying special attention to the seams and corners, which are the weakest parts of the box.

Holidays and gift giving occasions in Bangladesh

The many territories of Canada have their own days of celebration throughout the year, and there is more than one opportunity to send a gift to a Canadian friend or relative. Whether you're sending a present or just want to make sure your delivery is on time, it's worth knowing when Canada is enjoying a holiday. Just remember that packages are not picked up and dropped off on public holidays, so if you're sending around the holidays you'll need to factor in an extra day or two. To make sure you aren't surprised by a day you haven't heard of, Parcelcompare has collected a list of Canada's public holidays below.
