Machinery Import From China To Bangladesh: The Ultimate Guide (2025)

Are you planning to set up a new factory in Gazipur or upgrade your production line in Narayanganj?

Bangladesh is undergoing an industrial revolution. From the bustling garment factories of Savar to the rising steel mills of Chittagong, the demand for high-quality, affordable machinery is skyrocketing. And the source of this machinery? China.

China is the “World’s Factory,” supplying over 70% of Bangladesh’s capital machinery. Whether you need a CNC Router, an Injection Molding Machine, or a Concrete Block Maker, importing from China is the smartest business move you can make.

But here is the problem: Importing heavy machinery is not like importing a mobile phone.

• How do you ship a 5-ton machine?

• How do you handle the complex “Capital Machinery” tax benefits?

• How do you pay the supplier in USD if you don’t have an Import License (IRC)?

Total Import Solution is your answer.

We are Bangladesh’s leading Industrial Logistics Partner. We specialize in bringing heavy, complex, and high-value machinery from Chinese factories directly to your project site. We handle the sourcing, shipping, customs, and delivery—so you can focus on production.

The Challenge: Why Machinery Import is Difficult

Importing general goods is easy. Importing machinery is an art. Here are the three massive hurdles Bangladeshi entrepreneurs face:

1. The “Capital Machinery” Tax Maze

Bangladesh Customs offers reduced tax rates (often 1% to 5%) for “Capital Machinery” (machines used to manufacture other goods).

• The Trap: If you declare it wrong or use the wrong HS Code, Customs will charge you the standard commercial rate (26% – 37%).

• Our Solution: We are experts in HS Codes (e.g., 8479.82.00). We ensure your machinery is classified correctly to minimize tax legally.

2. The Weight & Volume Issue

A standard courier (DHL/FedEx) will reject any package over 70kg. A single industrial machine can weigh 3,000kg.

• The Trap: Sending this via Air Freight costs a fortune. Sending it via “Loose Cargo” (LCL) risks damage.

• Our Solution: We use specialized Sea Freight. We crate your machine in wooden boxes and secure it in containers to ensure zero damage.

3. The Payment Block

Chinese factories demand 100% advance payment for machinery. Bangladeshi banks rarely allow full advance payment without a complex Letter of Credit (LC).

• Our Solution: You pay us in BDT. We handle the international payment to the supplier instantly.

2025 Duty Structure for Machinery (Crucial Info)

Understanding the tax is critical for your budget. In 2025, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) has specific tiers for machinery.

Tier 1: Capital Machinery (Registered Industry)

• Who: Factories with an Industrial IRC and VAT registration.

• Duty: 1% – 2% (Concessionary Rate).

• Requirement: Must be shipped via Port-to-Port (C&F Agent required).

Tier 2: Commercial Import (SMEs/Traders)

• Who: Importers bringing machines to sell or small workshops without Industrial IRC.

• Duty: 26.2% – 37% (Total Tax Incidence).

• Requirement: This is where Total Import Solution shines. We offer a Door-to-Door DDP Rate that includes this duty. You pay one fixed price, and we handle the clearing.

💡 Smart Tip: If you are a small startup, don’t try to get the 1% rate. The paperwork cost often exceeds the tax saving. Use our Door-to-Door service for a hassle-free start.

How to Import Machinery with Us (Step-by-Step)

We have simplified the complex industrial import process into 5 steps.

Step 1: Source the Machine

Find your machine on Alibaba or Made-in-China. Negotiate the “Ex-Works” (Factory) price with the supplier.

• Need help sourcing? Send us your requirements, and we will find the factory for you.

Step 2: Get a “Landed Cost” Quote

Send the machine details to our WhatsApp (+880 1717-954302):

• Machine Photo & Link.

• Weight (KG) & Dimensions (CBM).

• Machine Value.

We will provide a quote: “Sir, to bring this machine to your factory floor, the total cost is X Taka.”

Step 3: Payment & Pickup

Pay the invoice in BDT. We pay your Chinese supplier and send a truck to pick up the machine from their factory.

Step 4: Secure Shipping (Sea Freight)

We crate the machine (if needed) and load it into a container. We handle the Export Customs in China.

Step 5: Customs Clearance & Delivery

Once the ship reaches Chittagong, our team clears the customs. We load the machine onto a covered truck and deliver it to your site in Bangladesh.

1. You take a photo of the broken part.

2. We buy it from the factory in China.

3. We fly it to Dhaka via our Air Freight service (7 days).

• Result: Your factory never stops running.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: My machine weighs 500kg. Can you bring it?

A: Yes! We handle machines from 10kg to 10,000kg. For 500kg, we will likely use LCL Sea Freight (Shared Container) to keep your cost low.

Q: Do you install the machine?

A: We are a logistics company, not engineers. However, for large orders, we can arrange for the Chinese supplier to send a technician (you cover their visa/ticket) or connect you with local engineers in Dhaka.

Q: What if the machine arrives damaged?

A: We strongly recommend Wooden Crating for all machinery. We also check the packaging at our China warehouse before loading. If damage occurs during transit, our insurance policy (if opted) covers it.

Q: Can I visit your office?

A: Absolutely. We invite you to visit us to discuss your industrial needs.
