How to Import from China to Bangladesh — Step by Step
To import from China to Bangladesh: find and check a supplier, agree terms, choose air or sea freight, prepare documents, ship the cargo, clear customs at Chittagong with a C&F agent, and take door delivery.
Importing from China can grow your business fast. But the first time feels confusing. There are suppliers to check, shipping to book, and customs to clear. This guide walks you through it, step by step.
Step 1: Find and check a supplier
Start by finding a good supplier. Compare prices, ask for samples, and check reviews. Our teams in Guangzhou and Yiwu can source and inspect for you, so you avoid bad factories.
Step 2: Agree the terms
Confirm the price, the quantity, and who pays for what. A clear deal now prevents arguments later. We can also pay the supplier for you and add it to one bill.
Step 3: Choose your shipping mode
Pick air freight for speed or sea freight for low cost on big loads. Not sure? We compare both and tell you which saves money.

Step 4: Prepare documents
- Commercial invoice — sets the value for customs.
- Packing list — lists the cartons and weights.
- Bill of lading or airway bill — the transport document.
Step 5: Ship, clear, and deliver
Your cargo sails or flies to Bangladesh. At Chittagong, our licensed C&F agent clears it. Then we deliver to your door. That is the full China to Bangladesh journey, handled by one team.
Step 6: Plan your landed cost
Remember to add freight, duty, and clearance to the supplier price. That is your real cost. We help you work it out before you commit, so there are no surprises.
