Importing a car from the UK to Bangladesh.

The age limit

Bangladesh allows the import of used (reconditioned) vehicles that are no more than five years old at the time of shipment. A draft import policy for 2025–2028 has proposed allowing older vehicles under conditions, but as of early 2026 it had not been approved — check the current position before you buy.

Vehicles that suit Bangladesh

• Right-hand-drive, as sold in the UK.
• Recent model years, so the car is still within the limit on its shipping date.
• Fitted with seat belts and clear, untinted windscreen and driver’s window glass, as Bangladesh’s rules require.

Duties and taxes

Import duties and supplementary duty in Bangladesh rise steeply with engine size, so the total tax on a large-engined car can be very high. Ask your clearing agent for a duty calculation on the exact model before you commit.
