I do not know about Bangladesh Custom duties Tell them that 1. the valuation is wrong. 2. the cds should be (almost) duty free 3. For 100cds the declared value is 17 Euro and also mention the things in the previous posts With $240, you can produce about 12,00 custom DVDs with labels :) Best A. Mani -- A.
