The USA is a shopper's paradise, with access to the latest gadgets, fashion, and brands that are often unavailable or much more expensive in other parts of the world. Through Bring2BD, you can get your hands on these items without the high cost of international shipping. Here are the top 5 most popular items our users in Bangladesh are requesting from travelers coming from the United States.

1. Latest Smartphones

It's no surprise that smartphones top the list. New models from Apple (iPhone) and Google (Pixel) are often released in the US first and can be significantly cheaper.

  • Why request it? Get the latest model weeks or months before the official launch in Bangladesh and save money.
  • Traveler Tip: Phones are small and easy to carry. Make sure to declare them at customs if required.

2. Laptops and Tablets

High-performance laptops from brands like Apple (MacBook), Dell (XPS), and Microsoft (Surface) are in high demand. They are essential for students and professionals, and the price difference can be substantial.

  • Why request it? Access specific configurations and models that may not be sold in Bangladesh.
  • Traveler Tip: Laptop boxes can be bulky. If the buyer agrees, consider carrying the laptop in a sleeve to save space, but be sure to protect it well.

3. Designer Handbags & Accessories

Luxury fashion items from brands like Coach, Michael Kors, and Kate Spade are much more affordable in the US, especially with frequent sales and outlet stores.

  • Why request it? Own a genuine designer piece at a fraction of the local price.
  • Traveler Tip: These are lightweight but can be bulky. Keep dust bags and authenticity cards for the buyer.

4. Branded Sneakers

Sneaker culture is global. Limited edition releases from Nike, Adidas, and other brands are highly sought after. Getting them from the US means you're getting them from the primary market.

  • Why request it? Grab exclusive models that are impossible to find elsewhere.
  • Traveler Tip: Shoe boxes take up a lot of space. Ask the buyer if it's okay to transport them without the box to fit more in your luggage.

5. Skincare & Cosmetics

Niche and popular skincare brands like The Ordinary, Drunk Elephant, or Glossier can be hard to find and are often marked up overseas.

  • Why request it? Get authentic products directly from US retailers, often in value sets that offer great savings.
  • Traveler Tip: Be mindful of liquid restrictions in your carry-on luggage. It's best to pack these items in your checked bags.
