1. Introduction: The 2026 Import Revolution
In 2026, the landscape of trade has shifted. No longer is importing the exclusive domain of giant corporations with massive L/C limits. Today, thanks to the Door-to-Door (D2D) model, a student in Dhaka or a small factory owner in Gazipur can source directly from a manufacturer in Guangzhou with just a smartphone.
However, with the “Dollar Crisis” and fluctuating fuel surcharges, knowing the exact landed cost is the difference between a thriving business and a financial loss. This guide provides the blueprint for a “Zero-Stress” import journey.
