Customs Advice
The importation of certain products into a country is restricted in order to protect the economy and
safety of its citizens. The restrictions may be imposed by Customs or by any other agency which has
regulatory authority.
We provide a shipping service only and Customs at the parcel's destination will determine whether any
charges are payable on your package. All duties, taxes and/or quarantine fees applied are at the
discretion of local customs or governmental organisations and are out of our control.
If the addressee refuses to pay duties/taxes, the parcel may be held, returned (if allowed by Customs)
or destroyed, and additional costs may be incurred. As per Terms and Conditions, those charges will be
billed to the sender.
Please note, no shipping costs are recoverable for parcels held or destroyed, even if shipping
protection cover has been purchased.
Majority of parcels can be delivered door to door, once it has cleared customs at destination. However,
some countries have a door to airport service only. In those countries, the recipients may have to
present themselves to either Customs or the local courier's office to take possession of their
consignment.
We advise you to verify independently, all Customs, Governmental and Quarantine regulations. These rules
can and do frequently change without prior notice or recourse.

Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI)
It is now a requirement that all exporters sending freight outside of the E.U must have an EORI number
if they are VAT registered.
If you have any queries regarding the EORI application process then please visit the
HMRC
website.
Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Bangladesh, you will be redirected
to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Bangladesh is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

Shipment Protection
When you book a shipping service to Bangladesh, you will be able to choose an
appropriate level of cover for your shipment. We offer enhanced parcel protection for up to £2000
for a small additional fee.
If you do not purchase enhanced Shipment Protection, your shipment will be only covered to a maximum
value of £50 as per the limited liability set out in our
Terms & Conditions and subject to your
parcel passing minimum packaging requirements.
Please note that the declared value for customs purposes is not related to the declared value selected

urgently send a package delivery to Bangladesh, or someone sending a
birthday gift home to family RapidParcel.com is the courier comparison

In the past, being separated from our loved ones probably meant that
they'd moved to a different postcode. Today, the world is a smaller
place and our friends and family could be a continent away. If your
nearest and dearest are far from home but still in your thoughts, you
might want to let them know with the help of our Bangladesh shipping
service.
Whether it's the family you left behind, one of your brood making their
way in the world or friends working far from home, our Bangladesh
shipping service will let them know you're thinking of them in the most
meaningful way possible. Phone calls, emails and Facebook updates pale
into insignificance when set against the excitement caused by a package
through the post - a gift delivered by hand is a gesture worth a
thousand words and our Bangladesh shipping service will ensure that
your package is delivered safely and on time.
When organising your package you'll have many things on your mind but
near the top of your list is likely to be whether the package is
treated with care and respect, and whether you're getting the best
possible value for money. Our courier comparison service will let you
choose between some of the most established names in the business,
companies whose reputation and success depends upon being on time,
every time, and treating your package delivery to Bangladesh with the
care and attention that you yourself would give it. Not only are our
couriers the very best, but we've also negotiated exclusive deals with
them, which means that you'll be getting the most competitive possible
price for the finest available service, an unbeatable combination.
There may be occasions when even "as soon as possible" isn't soon
enough; a forgotten birthday, an anniversary, or a time-sensitive gift
that really needs to have been there yesterday. For emergencies like
this, your package delivery to Bangladesh can be sent to get there
within just two to three days. We'll ensure that your package arrives
both exactly where and when you need it to.
