Shipping Cargo from Bangladesh to Canada (Air vs. Ocean)

Choose between air cargo and ocean freight. Air typically delivers within ~1 week; ocean averages 1–3 months door-to-door.

LCL (Less-Than-Container Load)

Share container space with other shippers. Allow extra time for consolidation and de-consolidation at origin/destination.

FCL (Full-Container Load)

20-ft or 40-ft containers for larger or time-sensitive ocean shipments. Most predictable ocean lead times.

Air vs. Ocean: Which is cheaper?

Ocean includes surcharges that can make small consignments more expensive than economy air. As a rule of thumb, shipments up to ~100 kg often price better by air. Read more about ocean freight to Canada.

Typical Transit Times & Cost Ranges (illustrative)

• Express courier: ~3–6 business days; priced per chargeable weight (see chargeable weight)
• Economy air: ~5–10 business days; lower cost than priority
• Ocean LCL/FCL: ~4–12 weeks door-to-door depending on consolidation and routing

How to Reduce Total Shipping Cost

• Right-size packaging to minimize dimensional weight.
• Consolidate parcels into scheduled weekly/biweekly movements.
• Compare post vs. courier vs. air vs. ocean for your weight band.
• Use a third-party partner for negotiated discounts and program design.
• Choose the right Incoterms (DDU vs. DDP) to balance cost and experience.

Export Declaration from Canada (CERS) for Shipments to Bangladesh

Shipments from Canada with a value over CA$2,000 (or containing restricted goods) typically require a CERS export declaration. Learn more: Canada export declarations and the B13A/CERS background.

Customs Clearance for Goods Sent to Bangladesh

Bangladesh Customs assesses duty and taxes on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Classification uses HS codes; VAT applies to the CIF value plus duty.

• The importer must have a valid importer code from Customs Authorities.
• Imported goods must conform to the importer’s licensed activities.

Clearance of Consignments from Bangladesh into Canada

• CA$20 and under: often duty- and tax-exempt (non-US origin)
• Above CA$20: duties/taxes generally apply

FAQ: Shipping Bangladesh ⇄ Canada

What is the cheapest way to ship a small package from Bangladesh to Canada?

For individuals, the local post usually offers the lowest rate (with slower transit and limited tracking). For businesses and recurring shipments, economy courier services often provide better value and reliability.

How long does shipping from Bangladesh to Canada take?

Express courier: ~3–6 business days. Economy air: ~5–10 business days. Ocean (LCL/FCL): ~4–12 weeks door-to-door depending on consolidation and routing.

What duties and taxes apply when importing into Canada from Bangladesh?

For non-US origins like Bangladesh, shipments valued at CA$20 or less may be duty- and tax-exempt; above CA$20, duties/taxes usually apply. Courier Low Value Shipment (CLVS) processes may apply up to CA$3,300 for courier entries.

What documents are required?

Commercial invoice, packing list, waybill, HS classification, and any required permits/licenses. From Canada, many exports ≥ CA$2,000 require a CERS export declaration.

Should I choose DDU or DDP?

DDU (receiver pays) can reduce the shipper’s cash outlay but may slow delivery if charges are due at arrival. DDP (shipper pays) improves the recipient experience but requires local tax handling. Choose based on customer expectations and compliance.
