How to Start Amazon FBA from Bangladesh (2025) – Proven Success Guide for Beginners

What is Amazon FBA?
Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) means you send your products to Amazon’s warehouse, and they do the rest: storing, packing, shipping, and handling returns. You earn money without managing logistics.
Can You Start Amazon FBA from Bangladesh?
Yes. But Amazon doesn’t directly support Bangladeshi passports or local bank accounts. However, you can legally run your Amazon FBA business using a U.S. or UK LLC and a foreign bank account.
Common Challenges (With Simple Solutions)
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
No Bangladeshi passport accepted | Use a trusted family/friend’s foreign ID or register your own USA LLC |
No bank account | Open a US-based Mercury.com bank account (free, online) |
No business registration | Use Stripe Atlas or Doola to set up a US LLC |
Paid courses with no value | Use free and verified resources (YouTube, Reddit, Facebook groups) |
Confused by tools | Start with free tools: Canva, Google Trends, Helium10 (trial), JungleScout |

⚠️ Real Risks You May Think About:
Risk | Explanation | Cost if it goes wrong |
---|---|---|
❌ Scammers on Alibaba | Some suppliers take money, never ship, or send poor-quality goods | $200–$2,000 lost easily |
⚠️ Defective/low-quality stock | Can result in bad reviews, Amazon suspension | Lost inventory, poor ratings |
💸 Amazon FBA fees & returns | Storage, fulfillment, and returns can eat your profit | 30–50% of sale price if not optimized |
❌ Wrong niche/product | Your inventory might never sell | Stuck with goods, cash blocked |
⚠️ LLC setup with no sales | You spend $500+ but never launch properly | Money wasted on legal setup |
🎯 How to Make This Fruitful (Safely and Strategically)
✅ 1. Start Small — Don’t Buy Inventory Yet
Instead of buying from Alibaba right away, test demand first:
- Use Amazon FBA wholesale or online arbitrage
- Or use Dropshipping from U.S. suppliers
- Or try Fiverr freelancing, affiliate marketing, or digital products with the LLC first
✅ 2. Verify Alibaba Suppliers the Right Way
Checklist to Avoid Scammers:
Tip | What to Look For |
---|---|
✔️ Trade Assurance | Use Alibaba Trade Assurance (Alibaba holds your money until you confirm goods) |
✔️ Gold Supplier (3+ years) | Established sellers have a lower scam risk |
✔️ Verified Company | Check “Business License Verified” badge |
✔️ Pay via Alibaba (not outside) | Never pay via Western Union or direct bank unless you’ve already worked with them |
✔️ Ask for samples | Test product quality before a bulk order |
✔️ Use a sourcing agent | A local Chinese agent can inspect quality for ~$100–$200/order (ask if you want recommendations) |
✅ 3. Start with a Low-Risk Product
Start with a simple, light product under:
- $2 cost per unit
- <500 units in first batch
- No batteries, liquids, or sizing issues
🎯 This keeps your total launch cost under $1,000 — including shipping.
✅ 4. Budget Realistically
Category | Cost |
---|---|
U.S. LLC + EIN + bank | ~$150 (DIY as we discussed) |
Product samples | $50–$100 |
First order (300–500 units) | $300–$700 |
Amazon FBA prep (labeling, shipping) | $100–$150 |
Ads & launch budget | $100–$200 |
Total Estimated | $800–$1,200 to test 1 product |
📉 Potential Loss if Fails:
- If supplier scams you: max ~$300–$500 (with trade assurance you’re safe)
- If product fails: maybe recover 50% by liquidating stock
- If smart: total worst-case loss = $300–$600
🟢 Reality Check: Is Amazon FBA Worth It for You?
✅ Yes, if:
- You’re ready to learn, test slowly, and build long-term
- You treat it like a real business and invest smart
- You verify every supplier and build a brand
❌ No, if:
- You’re looking for fast money
- You want guarantees or shortcuts
- You’re not ready to risk $500–$1,000 for learning
🔐 Final Advice:
If you’re unsure, start as a service provider (freelancing, sourcing agent, or product researcher) first. Build capital and experience. Then step into FBA once you’re confident.
