3. Bangladesh Customs Rules 2025: What You Must Know

Traveling from Dhaka isn’t just about airline rules; you must also follow Bangladesh Customs regulations to avoid legal trouble.

Duty-Free Allowances (Incoming Passengers)

  • Gold Ornaments: Up to 100 grams (for women) and 200 grams of silver ornaments are duty-free.

  • Gold Bars: You can carry a maximum of 117 grams (approx. 10 tolas) by paying a duty of BDT 40,000 to BDT 50,000.

  • Laptops/Mobile Phones: 1 Laptop and 2 used mobile phones are duty-free. A 3rd phone (new) requires duty payment.

  • Alcohol: Only non-Muslim foreign passport holders are allowed 1 liter of alcoholic beverages.

Prohibited Items from Bangladesh

Effective late 2023 and continuing through 2025, carton boxes are strictly regulated or prohibited on flights to specific Middle Eastern destinations unless properly reinforced or replaced by standard luggage.

4. Understanding Baggage Dimensions

It’s not just about the weight; size matters. Most airlines follow the Linear Dimension rule.

  • Checked Baggage: The sum of Length + Width + Height must not exceed 158 cm (62 inches).

  • Cabin Baggage: Standard dimensions are usually 56cm x 36cm x 23cm.

  • Single Piece Weight: By international labor law, no single bag can exceed 32kg, even if your total allowance is 40kg. You must split the weight into two bags.

5. Excess Baggage: How to Save Money

If you know you will exceed your limit, do not wait until you reach the airport. Pre-purchasing baggage through an agent is significantly cheaper.

  • Airport Rates: Can range from $15 to $40 per kg depending on the destination.

  • Pre-paid Rates: Often 30% to 50% cheaper than airport rates.

  • Air Ticket Point Hack: Call us at +8801315403803 at least 24 hours before your flight to add extra baggage to your PNR at discounted agency rates.

To ensure safety at HSIA, the following items are strictly banned in both checked and cabin luggage:

  1. Lithium Batteries: Must be in cabin luggage only (limitations apply).

  2. Flammable Liquids: Lighters, matchboxes, and paint thinners.

  3. Corrosives: Mercury (found in some thermometers) and wet-cell batteries.

  4. Sharp Objects: Knives, scissors, and tools must be in checked baggage only.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I carry a laptop bag in addition to my 7kg cabin bag?

Most full-service airlines (Emirates, Qatar, Biman) allow one small personal item (laptop bag or lady’s handbag) in addition to your 7kg hand luggage. However, budget carriers may count the laptop bag as part of your 7kg.

Q2: Does Air Ticket Point handle baggage issues?

As your Ticketing Agent, we assist in providing the correct allowance information and pre-booking extra weight. For lost or damaged luggage, you must contact the airline’s baggage counter at the airport.

Q3: What is the allowance for infants?

Most airlines allow 10kg of checked baggage for infants, plus one collapsible stroller or carrycot.

Q4: Are carton boxes allowed at Dhaka Airport?

Many airlines have started banning irregular-shaped carton boxes. We highly recommend using standard suitcases to avoid being turned away at the check-in counter.
