Formula
How the calculation works
The gold value is the weight times the price per gram, and insurance and duty are percentages of that value.
Adding the shipping charge to those gives the total cost of sending the gold.
Because insurance and duty scale with value, a small weight of high-value gold can cost more to ship than a larger low-value parcel.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting the duty, which on gold can be several percent of the value.
- Insuring at the gold value but not the shipping cost, which leaves the shipping itself uncovered.
When to use it
- Use it to estimate the cost of shipping gold, including insurance and duty.
- It is not a customs ruling; the real duty depends on the destination's rules.
Worked example
Sending 50 grams at 9000 per gram with 5000 shipping, 1% insurance and 5% duty costs 32000 taka in total.
Common questions
Is duty charged on the gold value?
Yes, the duty percentage is applied to the gold value, not to the shipping cost.
Are there legal limits on gold?
Yes, many countries cap how much gold you can send or carry, so check the rules first.
