Located in South Asia, Bangladesh is the 8^th most populous country and shares its borders with Myanmar and India. Situated close to the Tropic of Cancer, the climate of the country is considered tropical with mild winters and hot summers. With better business and trade opportunities in the last few years, there has been higher scrutiny of import and export laws, making it easier to import your motorcycle here. If you are planning to move here, it helps to import your motorcycle as that would be the easiest way to navigate through the traffic on the roads.

Methods of Shipping

Roll-on/Roll-off shipment is the standard method used worldwide. Your motorcycle is driven on the ship’s deck and immobilised with the tyres in metal plates that are affixed to the deck and are also tethered. This severely restricts motion while in transit. Conversely, you have the option of choosing container shipping wherein your motorcycle together with other motorcycles is put within 20 feet or 40 feet containers. If it is an expensive motorcycle or you need additional protection, you have the option of creating it for increased safety.

Motorcycle Import Regulations

When you are shipping your motorcycle to Bangladesh from USA, there are plenty of motor vehicle regulations that need to be adhered to:
