Buy from Bangladesh — Ship to the USA

Why USA Customers Hire Me

Most of my US customers come to me for one of three reasons:

1. Bangladeshi products that simply aren't available in the US — specific brands of medicine, particular saree styles, regional foods, religious books
2. Significantly lower prices — Bangladesh prices are 50-80% lower than US retail for many categories
3. Authenticity guarantees — buying directly from a Bangladesh-based agent eliminates the counterfeit risk of generic online stores

What I Ship to the USA Most Often

• Bangladesh football jerseys, sports merchandise — bulk and individual orders (see @ian_smoth's review)
• Sarees — Jamdani, Benarasi, cotton tant, salwar kameez sets for weddings and gifts
• Medicines — Square, Beximco, Renata pharmaceuticals (with prescription) and ayurvedic supplements
• Bangladeshi food — pickle, mustard oil, panch phoron, Ispahani tea, dried fish (vacuum-sealed)
• Handicrafts — Nakshi kantha, jute crafts, terracotta, wedding gifts
• Books — Bangla literature, religious books, school books, rare titles

USA Customs Rules — What You Need to Know

Personal-Use Threshold

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) de minimis threshold is $800 per person per day. Imports under this value enter duty-free for personal use.

What Imports Smoothly

• Sealed/factory-packaged food in personal-use quantities
• Textiles and clothing (sarees, panjabi, etc.)
• Most personal-use medicines (FDA personal importation policy)
• Books, stationery, electronics
• Handicrafts and gifts

What's Restricted

• Controlled substances — narcotics, certain stimulants, opioids (will be seized)
• Fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy — strictly banned by USDA
• Some seed/plant material — requires permit
• Counterfeit goods — never an issue with my service (I source legitimate products only)

Customs Declaration

I always declare honestly. Falsified declarations risk seizure and a permanent flag on the recipient's name with CBP. The cost of legitimate declaration is usually $0 (under $800 personal use). The cost of false declaration is much higher.

Shipping Options to the USA

Payment for US Customers

I recommend US customers use:

• PayPal for first orders — buyer protection if anything goes wrong (read my PayPal vs Wise vs bKash guide)
• Wise for repeat orders — cheaper fees, better exchange rate

Real US Customer Experiences

Three of my five most recent reviews are from US customers. Read them on the Reviews page — including @ian_smoth's detailed account of bulk Bangladesh football jerseys delivered to the USA in 6 days, and @mountaindieu88 the verified repeat client.

USA-wide delivery via DHL/FedEx/UPS — every state, every major city. Deliveries to date have included addresses in New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and many more.

FAQ for USA Customers

Will I have to pay customs duty on my order?

For personal-use orders under $800, almost never. Above $800, US customs may charge duty (typically 5-15% depending on item category). Most of my customer orders are well under $800.

How long does shipping take from Dhaka to my US address?

DHL Express: 4-7 business days. FedEx: 5-8 days. Bangladesh Post EMS: 10-15 days. From inquiry to delivery, total time is typically 9-14 days including shopping and packaging.

Can you ship to a P.O. Box?

DHL and FedEx require a real street address. Bangladesh Post EMS sometimes delivers to P.O. Boxes but is slower. Strongly recommend a residential or office address.

What about returns if I don't like what arrived?

For high-value orders, I send photos and video before shipping so you approve exactly what's purchased. If something arrives damaged or different from approved photos, see my Refund Policy — generally I cover it. If you simply change your mind on an item that matched specifications, refund is harder since I've already paid the shop.
