⚠️ Common Mistake

অনেক বাংলাদেশি ভাবেন “$5,000 limit” শুধু USD এ — কিন্তু combined currency value। SAR + USD + GBP all combined $5,000+ হলে declare। Ignorance defense না।

⭐ Smart Practice

Trip এর জন্য large cash carry এর instead Wise/Western Union/SWIFT transfer। Bangladesh এ legal, fee minimal, no declaration hassle। FlynextTrip এ international transfer guidance।
