China to Bangladesh Shipping Forwarder Price: The Ultimate Guide (2025 Rates)

By Total Import Solution

Are you planning to import goods from China to Bangladesh? Whether you are sourcing electronics from Alibaba, fabrics from 1688, or heavy machinery from a direct factory, one question determines your profit margin:

“What is the actual China to Bangladesh shipping forwarder price?”

The internet is full of confusing information. Some agents quote you a low shipping fee but hide the massive Customs Duty you have to pay at Dhaka Airport. Others give you a cheap rate but take 60 days to deliver.

At Total Import Solution, we believe in transparency. In this ultimate guide, we will reveal the real costs of shipping, explain the hidden fees competitors don’t tell you about, and show you how to get the lowest door-to-door rates in the market.

Part 1: Current Shipping Rates 2025 (Estimated)

Note: Prices fluctuate weekly based on fuel costs and dollar rates. Contact us on WhatsApp (+880 1717-954302) for today’s live rate.

✈️ 1. Air Freight Rates (China to Dhaka)

Best for: Electronics, Samples, Spare Parts, Urgent Fashion Items.

Transit Time: 7–10 Days.

Service Type	Weight	Estimated Price (Per Kg)	Customs Status
Express Courier (DHL/FedEx)	0.5kg – 5kg	$25.00 – $40.00+	Excluded (You pay customs)
Total Import Door-to-Door	10kg – 100kg	$5.50 – $7.50	INCLUDED (We pay customs)
Total Import Bulk Air	100kg+	$4.50 – $5.50	INCLUDED (We pay customs)

💡 The Total Import Advantage:

If you use DHL, they might charge you $10/kg for shipping, BUT when the product arrives in Dhaka, Customs might ask you for 50% to 100% Tax.

With Total Import Solution’s Door-to-Door Air Service, the rate (e.g., $6.50/kg) INCLUDES everything. You pay nothing extra.

🚢 2. Sea Freight Rates (China to Chittagong)

Best for: Heavy Machinery, Furniture, Raw Materials, Bulk Fabrics.

Transit Time: 25–40 Days.

Option A: LCL (Less than Container Load)

For when you don’t have enough goods to fill a whole container.

Rate: Calculated per CBM (Cubic Meter).
Estimated Cost: $110 – $140 USD per CBM (Door-to-Door).
Minimum Order: Usually 1 CBM.

Option B: FCL (Full Container Load)

For large importers bringing 20ft or 40ft containers.

20ft Container: $1,200 – $1,800 USD (Port-to-Port).
40ft Container: $1,800 – $2,500 USD (Port-to-Port).
Note: For FCL, you usually need your own IRC (Import Registration Certificate). If you don’t have one, Total Import Solution can provide our license for a service fee.

Part 2: How is the “Chargeable Weight” Calculated?

Many new importers get scammed because they don’t understand Volumetric Weight.

Airlines charge based on whichever is higher:

Actual Weight: The weight on the scale (Kg).
Volumetric Weight: The space the box takes up.
- Formula: (Length x Width x Height in cm) / 6000

Example:

You import a large teddy bear.

Actual Weight: 2 Kg.
Volumetric Weight: 10 Kg.
You Pay For: 10 Kg.

✅ How We Save You Money:

At Total Import Solution, we offer a Repackaging Service at our China warehouse. We remove the supplier’s unnecessarily big boxes and repack your goods tightly to reduce volume and save you shipping costs.

Part 3: The “Hidden” Costs of Importing (And How to Avoid Them)

When you see a “cheap” shipping rate on Facebook, be careful. They are likely leaving out these costs:

C&F Commission: The agent at Chittagong port who clears your goods.
Import Duty & VAT: Can range from 5% to 150% depending on the HS Code.
AIT (Advance Income Tax): 5% tax collected upfront.
Port Demurrage: Fines if you don’t clear goods within 4 days.

❌ The Competitor Way:

Quote: $2/kg (Shipping only) + You pay Customs (Huge Risk).

✅ The Total Import Solution Way:

Quote: All-Inclusive Rate (Shipping + Customs + Duty + Delivery).

You pay ONE price. We take ALL the risk.

Q: Can you import liquids or cosmetics?

A: Yes, these are “Sensitive Goods.” The rate is slightly higher than general goods, but we can clear them safely.

Q: Do I need a Trade License or IRC?

A: No. For our Door-to-Door service, we use our company’s Import License. You don’t need any paperwork.

Q: How do I pay?

A: We accept Bkash, Nagad, Bank Transfer, or Cash at our Dhaka office.
