Shipping Cost from China to Bangladesh Per Kg: The Ultimate Guide (2025 Update)

By Total Import Solution

If you are a business owner in Bangladesh, sourcing products from China is likely the backbone of your profitability. But there is one major hurdle that confuses even seasoned importers:

“What is the actual shipping cost from China to Bangladesh per kg?”

Search online, and you will find vague answers. Some freight forwarders quote a low rate like $3.00/kg but hide the fact that you have to pay massive Customs Duties at Dhaka Airport. Others offer “Door-to-Door” services but hold your goods hostage for extra “service charges.”

Total Import Solution is here to change that. As Bangladesh’s leading Door-to-Door logistics and sourcing provider, we believe in 100% transparency.

In this comprehensive guide, we will break down the exact costs for 2025, explain the difference between General and Sensitive goods, and show you how to calculate your landed cost so you can maximize your profit.

Part 1: The 2025 Air Freight Rates (Per Kg Breakdown)

Air freight is the fastest way to get goods from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Dhaka (Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport). However, the price depends heavily on the type of product and the total weight.

Note: These are estimated market averages for “Door-to-Door” service (Shipping + Tax + Duty included). For live daily rates, please contact us.

1. General Goods (Non-Electronic / Non-Liquid)

Items: Clothes, Shoes, Bags, Phone Covers, Plastic Items, Furniture Hardware.

Weight Slab	Estimated Cost (Per Kg)	Delivery Time
1 kg – 10 kg	950 – 1,200 BDT	10–15 Days
10 kg – 50 kg	750 – 950 BDT	10–12 Days
50 kg – 100 kg	650 – 800 BDT	7–10 Days
100 kg+ (Bulk)	Contact for Special Rate	7–10 Days

2. Sensitive Goods (Battery / Liquid / Cosmetic / Electronic)

Items: Smartwatches, Laptops, Cosmetics, Bluetooth Speakers, Power Banks.

Why is it more expensive? These items require special “Dangerous Goods” handling and have higher customs duties in Bangladesh.

Weight Slab	Estimated Cost (Per Kg)	Delivery Time
1 kg – 10 kg	1,100 – 1,400 BDT	12–18 Days
10 kg – 100 kg	950 – 1,150 BDT	12–15 Days

⚠️ Competitor Warning:

Many competitors will quote you $4.00/kg (approx 480 BDT). Be careful! This is usually the “Freight Only” rate. It does NOT include Bangladesh Customs Duty. When the goods arrive, you might be forced to pay thousands of Taka to release them.

At Total Import Solution, our rate is All-Inclusive. No hidden surprises.

Part 2: Understanding “Chargeable Weight” (Don’t Get Overcharged!)

This is the #1 reason importers lose money. Airlines do not just weigh your box; they measure it.

The Golden Rule: You are charged on whichever is higher: Actual Weight OR Volumetric Weight.

The Formula

\text{Volumetric Weight (kg)} = \frac{\text{Length (cm)} \times \text{Width (cm)} \times \text{Height (cm)}}{6000}

Real-Life Example: Importing Teddy Bears

Imagine you import a large box of Teddy Bears.

Actual Scale Weight: 5 kg.
Box Dimensions: 50cm x 50cm x 50cm.
Calculation: $(50 \times 50 \times 50) / 6000 = \mathbf{20.83 \text{ kg}}$ .

Result: The airline will charge you for 21 kg, not 5 kg!

✅ How Total Import Solution Saves You Money

We offer a Repackaging Service at our China Warehouse.

We receive your goods from the supplier.
We remove the supplier’s oversized, wasteful boxes.
We repack items tightly into smaller, secure packages.

Part 3: Sea Freight Costs (For Bulk Importers)

If you are importing heavy machinery, raw materials, or huge quantities of goods, Air Freight is too expensive. Sea Freight is your solution.

LCL (Less than Container Load)

You don’t need to rent a whole ship container. You just pay for the space you use (CBM – Cubic Meter).

Rate: $120 – $150 USD per CBM (approx).
Customs: Calculated separately based on the HS Code of the product.
Transit Time: 25 – 40 Days.

Total Import Solution handles the entire clearing process (CNF) at Chittagong Port so you don’t have to deal with port unions or paperwork.
