Can I send documents and photos to Bangladesh?

Allowed

Yes.

Personal papers with no commercial value travel as documents and clear on the courier's simplified declaration. Photos are fine.

More rules for Bangladesh

Plants, seeds, soil, and plant products: Need an import permit and the exporting country's phytosanitary certificate. Anyone who receives plant material from abroad must tell the nearest plant quarantine officer, who can release, treat, or destroy it. Plants can't use express clearance.
Goods needing a permit, quarantine, or quality testing: Goods controlled under the Import Policy Order, or that need a quarantine or quality certificate before release, can't clear through the express system and go through normal procedures.

Tax-free limit: Consignments worth Tk 2,000 (about $16) or less, counting the goods alone without freight and insurance, clear free of all duties and taxes if the duty and tax due would also be Tk 2,000 or less. The relief doesn't cover goods declared as having no commercial value, restricted goods, or anything commercial. There is no separate duty-free allowance for gifts or used personal effects sent by courier: above the de minimis they pay normal duties and taxes.
Receiver ID: National Identity Card (NID) or passport needed. For gift and low-value (de minimis) consignments to a private person, the courier must file a copy of the receiver's National ID card or passport with customs. Businesses give their VAT registration number or a customs-issued Consignee Identification Number (CIN). Other personal boxes are also declared in the receiver's name, so have the NID or passport copy ready before you ship.
Transit: 3-5 business days from the Gulf, the UK, and Europe; 4-7 from North America and Australia
