💊 Medicines & Healthcare

Bangladeshi medicines — Square pharmaceutical box, Beximco bottle, pill strip with Licensed Dhaka Pharmacies badge

Many Bangladeshi medicines, ayurvedic preparations, and supplements are difficult or impossible to find abroad. I source from licensed Dhaka pharmacies — including Square, Beximco, ACI, and Lazz Pharma — and verify expiry dates before shipping. Every package includes the original receipt for your records.

I take medicine orders seriously because they affect your health. I check the brand, dosage, and packaging carefully. If a medicine is out of stock or the expiry is too close, I'll tell you before charging anything — I won't ship something I wouldn't give my own family.

Common Products

  • ✓ Prescription medicines (Square, Beximco, Renata, Incepta)
  • ✓ Ayurvedic supplements (Hamdard, Acme)
  • ✓ Vitamins and minerals
  • ✓ Insulin and diabetic supplies
  • ✓ Skincare and dermatology
  • ✓ Baby care: gripe water, oil, formula
  • ✓ First-aid: Savlon, Dettol, Boroline

Approximate Pricing

Service fee: $15+ per order
Medicine cost: 60-80% lower than US/UK
Shipping: $25-$60 to most countries

Temperature-sensitive items (insulin) require DHL Express only — shipping cost is higher.

⚠️ Important Notes & Disclaimers

Prescription required: For prescription medicines, please send a copy of your doctor's prescription before I will purchase. This protects you and complies with Bangladesh pharmacy regulations.

Customs / import regulations: Every country has different rules. The USA, UK, EU, Australia, Canada, and Middle Eastern countries each have their own restrictions. It is your responsibility to check what is legal to import in your country before ordering.

Common restrictions: Controlled substances, narcotic painkillers, and some psychiatric medications cannot be imported into many countries even with a prescription.

No medical advice: I am not a doctor. I source what you ask for. Always confirm with your physician before taking any medicine purchased through me.

🥻 Clothing & Sarees

Stylized Jamdani saree illustration with traditional paisley motifs and gold zari pallu

Bangladesh is home to some of the world's most beautiful textiles — Jamdani, Tangail, Dhakai Muslin, Mirpur Benarasi, and the everyday cotton sarees that no diaspora wedding feels complete without. I shop from New Market, Bashundhara City, Aarong, Anjan's, and the famous Mirpur Benarasi Palli when you want something special.

Whether you need one saree for a wedding or a complete trousseau, I take photos and videos before purchasing so you can approve the exact piece. No surprises, no substitutions without your okay.

Common Products

  • ✓ Jamdani sarees (handwoven, traditional)
  • ✓ Benarasi & Katan silk sarees for weddings
  • ✓ Cotton & tant sarees for daily wear
  • ✓ Punjabi/panjabi for men
  • ✓ Salwar kameez sets, three-piece
  • ✓ Lehenga and gharara for occasions
  • ✓ Children's traditional wear
  • ✓ Hijab, scarves, dupatta

Approximate Pricing

Service fee: $15+ per saree
Saree cost: $15 (basic cotton) to $500+ (high-end Benarasi)
Shipping: $30-$80 by weight & destination

⚠️ Important Notes

Hand-loomed items vary slightly: Real Jamdani has natural variations — that's the proof they're handmade, not machine-made.

Photos before purchase: For sarees over $50, I always send photos and videos before buying.

Customs: Most countries allow textile imports, but duties may apply above thresholds (USA $200, UK £135). Check your country's import allowance.

🌶️ Food & Spices

Bangladesh spices in brass bowls — turmeric, chili, cumin, cardamom — with mustard oil bottle and pickle jar

Some flavors don't travel well in supermarkets. The Pran pickle that tastes right. The Ispahani Mirzapore tea your grandmother drinks. The exact panch phoron blend from your home district. I shop from Karwan Bazar, Shyam Bazar, and trusted brand stores to source authentic Bangladeshi food products.

All food items are vacuum-sealed where possible, double-bagged, and packed to prevent leakage. I check expiry dates and only ship items with at least 6 months of shelf life remaining.

Common Products

  • ✓ Pickles: mango, lime, garlic (Pran, Ahmed, Square)
  • ✓ Spices: panch phoron, garam masala, biryani spice
  • ✓ Tea: Ispahani, Tetley Bangladesh, Kazi & Kazi
  • ✓ Mustard oil (Pure Radhuni, Teer)
  • ✓ Dried fish (shutki) — vacuum-sealed
  • ✓ Chanachur, biscuits (Olympic, Pran)

  • ✓ Rice: Kalijira, Chinigura, Kataribhog

Approximate Pricing

Service fee: $15+ per order
Typical care package: $30-$80 product cost
Shipping: $35-$70 (food is heavy)

⚠️ Customs restrictions on food

Many countries restrict food imports — especially USA (FDA), UK, EU, and Australia (very strict). Meat products, dairy, and fresh items are usually banned. Dried, sealed, factory-packaged items are typically allowed in small quantities for personal use.

Perishable items: Fresh sweets/mishti have 1-2 week shelf life. I'll always warn you before accepting a perishable order.

🎁 Handicrafts & Gifts

Bangladeshi handicrafts — Nakshi kantha embroidered cloth with lotus medallion, jute basket, terracotta pot

Bangladesh has a rich tradition of handicrafts — Nakshi kantha embroidery, jute products, bamboo and cane work, terracotta, and shitalpati mats. I source from Aarong, Jatra, Kumudini, and small artisan workshops to bring you authentic, fair-trade pieces that aren't mass-produced.

These make wonderful gifts that carry real cultural meaning — perfect for weddings, housewarmings, holiday presents, or simply decorating your home with pieces that connect you to Bangladesh.

Common Products

  • ✓ Nakshi kantha (quilts, cushion covers)
  • ✓ Jute bags, baskets, home decor
  • ✓ Terracotta sculptures and pottery

Shipping: $40-$100 (fragile items need extra packaging)

📱 Electronics

Many electronics are significantly cheaper in Bangladesh due to lower import duties. I source from Bashundhara City, Multiplan, and authorized retailers — never grey market. I test every item before packaging and provide the original box, charger, and warranty papers.

Common Products

  • ✓ Smartphones (Samsung, Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo)
  • ✓ Phone accessories (cases, chargers)
  • ✓ Bluetooth headphones, earbuds, speakers
  • ✓ Power banks
  • ✓ Smartwatches and fitness bands
  • ✓ Computer accessories
  • ✓ Smart home devices

Approximate Pricing

Shipping: $40-$100 (insurance recommended)

⚠️ Important Notes

Voltage compatibility: Bangladesh uses 220V/50Hz. May need converter for 110V countries (USA, Canada).

Warranty: BD warranties may not be valid abroad. Most international brands honor warranties globally — verify with your country's service center.

Customs duties: Most countries charge import duty on electronics over a value threshold. Smartphones often heavily taxed.

IMEI registration: Some countries (UAE, Egypt, Algeria) require imported phones to be registered. You'll handle this yourself.

Don't See What You Need?

I source many other items not listed here — cosmetics, religious items, agricultural products, musical instruments, and more. If it exists in Bangladesh, I can probably get it.
