Buying false eyelashes in Bangladesh
False eyelashes are fibres set on a band, or in small clusters, that add length and volume to natural lashes. Beauty brands, online sellers and salon suppliers abroad buy them in volume. The EPB line for false eyelashes, beards and eyebrows of synthetic fibre, HS 670419, earned about 87.3 million US dollars in FY2025-26, about 77 per cent of the whole 6704 heading.
A false eyelash manufacturer in Bangladesh can work in synthetic fibre or human hair. Roptan sources both from verified makers, but not mink or other fur. We write fibre, length, curl and band into the order, approve a sample in your box, and check shape, strength and glue papers on the bulk.
How to specify a false eyelash order
- Fibre
- Synthetic, usually polyester, nylon or plastic fibre, or human hair. Names such as faux mink or silk do not say which fibre is used, so state the fibre itself.
- Length, density and curl
- Length in millimetres, density and the curl shape, approved on a physical sample rather than a photo.
- Band and fit
- Band type and strip length. Strip lashes are made to fit most eye shapes and the wearer trims them, so state the length before trimming.
- Glue
- Packed with glue or without. If glue goes in the box, name the adhesive supplier and get its ingredient list.
- Box and private label
- Box shape, size, logo and print, and extras such as a magnetic closure, a clear window, a zip seal or a reusable box.
Rules and papers for false eyelashes
- US FDA cosmetic rules
- The FDA treats false eyelashes, eyelash extensions and their adhesives as cosmetics, which must meet its safety and labelling requirements. A US buyer will ask for adhesive ingredients and compliant labels.
- Glue in the eye area
- The FDA warns that eyelids are delicate, so a reaction there is troublesome, and tells users to check adhesive ingredients. Get the ingredient list before glue goes into your box.
- HS 670419 and 670420
- Synthetic lashes go under 670419, human hair lashes under 670420, which also holds wigs of human hair. Your broker confirms the line.
Lead times and delivery
Stock styles in plain packs are usually quicker than new designs. A new style needs its own sample, custom boxes need printing and proof approval, and effects, magnetic strips and glue each add steps. Roptan confirms the sample and bulk dates, and the minimum per style, in the quote.
Inside Bangladesh we deliver to beauty shops, salons and online sellers, each pair in its retail box, cartons counted by style against the packing list, with a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3). Proofs of the box print are approved before packing starts.
Buying false eyelashes for export
Lashes are light and can ship by air from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, or FOB Chattogram in large lots. On EPB figures for FY2025-26, the United States took about 75 per cent of Bangladesh's exports across the nine wig, hair, comb and clip lines combined, so US cosmetic labelling is usually the first compliance question.
Questions buyers ask
Can you supply mink lashes?
No. We source synthetic and human hair lashes only. In the United States, mink and other fur used in lashes is treated as wildlife even when the animals are farmed, and a commercial importer needs a licence from the US Fish and Wildlife Service before the first shipment.
What does faux mink mean?
It is a trade name for synthetic fibre made to look like mink. Names such as faux mink and silk can mean different fibres from one maker to another, so the order states the actual fibre and the sample is approved against it.
Strip or cluster lashes: which should I stock?
Strip lashes suit retail: the wearer trims them, applies them with temporary glue and removes them with warm water or make-up remover. Individual and cluster lashes are fixed by a technician with semi-permanent glue and usually last three to four weeks, so they suit salon supply.
Should glue be packed with the lashes?
Only if you know what is in it. The FDA treats lash adhesives as cosmetics and tells users to check the ingredients, since the eye area is delicate. If you include glue, name the adhesive and print its ingredients; otherwise sell the lashes without it.
How soon will I hear back about wigs and hair products?
Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the quantity, where it is needed and by when.
Who do I deal with?
With Roptan, when Roptan manages the order: we buy from the verified seller and deliver to you. With the supplier directly, when you post on the requirement board and choose a quote yourself.
