Topic: How can a person buy a hardware wallet where crypto is ban? (Read 438 times)

Crypto is an online platform.  If you want to work here, you need to know and understand, there are many jobs related to crypto around the world, but I want to understand what kind of jobs are there in crypto?

I would like to think that going to another country where it is legal or not really legal to buy the hardware wallet is better, but simply relocating is best.
If family or friends or business can't be left behind in such instance, sourcing other faithfuls who have idea on crypto or still have crypto secretly is a great way to know which is best method in keeping your coins on the decentralized and detached network where no one can detect.

A better alternative to this is just buying a spare accessible HDD (hard disk drive) or SSD from your local computer parts shop and using that as your makeshift paper wallet. Just download electrum or whatever regular wallet app on that particular hard disk, make sure you can pull it out of your pc whenever you want to (I advise using a dongle instead of connecting it directly to your motherboard) and then from there, you got yourself a hardware wallet that is virtually as secure as your regular trezor, just don't connect it through the internet and only transact in equal amounts and you should be good to go.

Or better yet, if you're risking prison time just don't. Bitcoin is good and all that, but you can't spend your money in prison.

I don't think that a hardware wallet is the thing to have.
A non custodial wallet is much more practical. Easier to hide.
You don't even need a wallet. Just the Passfrase and/or your private keys to restore a wallet when you need it.

It depends on what exactly is forbidden in your country. There are many aspects of legal status of cryptocrrency: legal status of mining (restrictions and regulations of mining facilities), legal status of wallets (the presence/absence of law, that declares the right/prohibiton to have wallet software and hardware), legal status of profit in crypto, legal status of crypto transactions etc... legal status of crypto hardware wallets is only one of these legal statements, which has the chance to be officially allowed even if cryptoindustry is banned. So, I think, you can check the laws of your country: it can be legal even if crypto is illegal. And, most probably, if it's legal, you can find the store which sells ledgers officially and vice versa: the absence of official shops is the sign of illegal status of ledgers. And if it's illegal, I think that it's better not to risk...

A worldwide shift toward crypto acceptability is worth noting. Digital currencies and blockchain technologies are gaining attention from governments throughout the world. Thus, it could be beneficial for the OP to lobby for a change in legislation in his nation. The path ahead is long and winding, and there is no promise of a happy ending. Perhaps, though, it's preferable to strive for change rather than cower in secret

He said that involvement with Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies is strictly prohibited, and another guy from his country said that people are getting arrested if they are caught having any involvement with Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, whether it's buying or selling, storing them, or buying and selling Bitcoin related hardware like wallets or miners, so I'm pretty sure that it is not just about banks and transactions going out and coming in into bank accounts related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.

I would suggest OP simply keep things to himself if things are actually this serious within his country because if authorities come to know about his involvement with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, they can take strict actions against him and his family, and they might close down their bank accounts or even put them in prison for going against the law.

Crypto is not illegal in my country. Hardware wallets are available on regular sale.
By the way, I got Ledger in a prize contest, just before the last scandal with recovery keys. I only use it for some testing and fun, Trezor is still my main wallet.

I'm lucky that I'm in a country where Crypto is evolving and developing my guess is their governments only want the money from their wallet, not the Crypto itself.

If their customs knows how to check the parcels and knows about Crypto I don't think it would work but if you can communicate with the seller and tell them to replace the box instead of the ledger box with a sealed maybe it would work.

It's a pretty stupid regulation if just installing a crypto wallet ends up in jail.
Who's going to check everyone's phone whether they have it installed or not anyway.

If it is indeed strict in giving regulations without crypto at all, blocking everything related to crypto would be good enough rather than just applying to the law but there is no direct application to the ecosystem itself.

Congratulations on your Ledger arrival even though it is characterized as a USB flash drive, it is just a simple camouflage and the Customs people will not know it.
But why do you still trust Ledger? There is a Phrase feature that can be extracted (a controversial feature).

take a look , may be helpful , i have attached few screenshot of the hardware and things im using personally, you can make an idea yourself

I have to admit that I was surprised what I read it here. Bangladesh has banned crypto, and just having a crypto wallet is enough to get jailed. What madness. Well, every mobile device can be a wallet for cryptocurrency, is owning one also punishable? How stupid is the one who designed such a law and still enforces it?

Ledger arrived for me, where the parcel is characterized as a USB flash memory, I believe that such a way can work in this case as well.

He is from Bangladesh, a country still with a strict ban on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, so it would be unwise for the OP to still find a way to buy hardware wallets. Instead, we also have secure solutions like hardware wallets as you mentioned. Yes, an air-gapped device is becoming more popular than a hardware wallet after the controversy caused by Ledger. To be honest, I am still using Trezor hardware wallet but I am also planning to switch to air-gapped device because all hardware wallets are produced by centralized companies and controlled by the government, so it is difficult to predict what they will do.

If I were you, I'd avoid using/buying hardware wallet. Just use Electrum or any other solid reputable wallet that should be enough. If you're particularly security conscious, set up an air-gapped device. That's not complicated to do, you should be able to find some instructions here on Bitcointalk.

Instead of exposing yourself to any risk, even to 1%, they may summon you and investigate you legally and ban the entry of hardware and confiscate it in your country. They have your full name and residence address in detail (your information as a buyer). You are not anonymous to them. You should ask one of your friends or citizens who live in your country who managed to buy a hardware wallet and it reached them smoothly, and you should know the customs laws and the laws related to banning cryptocurrencies well.

I advise you instead either to buy another computer on which you put any popular decentralized desktop wallets for Bitcoin or flash USB memory (16GM) and put on it the Tails distribution, which is one of the Linux distributions. You can download Electrum, or you will find it installed in the Tails distribution. Now you have a cold hardware wallet at a low cost and with a security open-source system and encrypted connections through Tor.

If cryptocurrencies are banned in your country, avoid ordering hardware wallets directly from online shops outside your nation. There might be a network of individuals involved in supplying hardware wallets, so finding trustworthy suppliers is crucial. Some wallets may manage to bypass customs detection, but you'll need to conduct a thorough investigation to identify them as I don't have specific names to provide.

Alternatively, you could seek assistance from someone you trust, who resides in a country where cryptocurrencies are allowed. They could help you acquire a hardware wallet and make the process easier for you.

Actually this is not true. A hardware wallet can actually paint a target on you, AND is USELESS for long term storage (flash memory can't retain data for long).

Do you know what works? paper and pencil. Something to write down the 12 seed words by hand. Hide that well. You can also be creative about it, like take a book and mark some words in a way only you understand.

Use safe and secure software, Linux or bsd, no windows. It costs nothing, it is not illegal.

I am shocked to hear that. Do rules are really that much strict there? Because here crypto is banned but no punishment is finalized by the government and here we have an influencer Waqar Zaka who is promoting crypto and trying very hard to make it legal even though he is the one convinced one of our governments to establish a mining rig house taking electricity from water. The point is, he is the one who said, crypto is not fully banned here.

Because SBP said, we don't have any rules violation here according to our law so we have no reason to ban it but still they banned crypto. If the rules are really that strict and they are following them then we all should avoid such acts that could arrest us.

I would say instead of buying hardware wallets you should give a try to make your own wallet like a DIY hardware wallet but if you are a newbie then it is not advisable. Because it is highly fragile work and mistakes could lose you money too. And as crypto library suggested you to ask someone coming from abroad then it might work like a person coming from India maybe. Overall, I suggest not to take any risks.

I am guessing that he meant that it is not legalized at all, he may not speak fluent English, one sentence after that he asks how he could get hardware wallet into a nation that made bitcoin illegal. If I read it right, its about living in a nation that made bitcoin illegal and he wants hardware wallet.

I would suggest not doing it, because it doesn't really mean that it is going to work in the end and if you really must, wait until you visit another nation one day and get one there and bring it back, it usually looks like just a usb stick anyway, so it won't get any alarms. I think you can still order it, and maybe there won't be any issues anyway, not like most people know what hardware wallet companies are out there anyway.

You can make one yourself, to avoid being caught for buying one. Just buy yourself a Raspberry Pi zero, a WaveShare LCD display, a Pi zero compatible camera, a micro SD and with a little DIY hand-work, you've made a SeedSigner, which if you're asking me, it's better than a hardware wallet as it's really airgapped.

But, true, if it's illegal, better just get yourself an airgapped machine with Electrum (preferably using Tails as it comes pre-installed).

Ban or no ban, Bitcoin hardware wallet was meant to be used privately, it increases your level of security for your assets compare to someone who always tell everyone that he has Bitcoin wish can attract criminals to his door or lead to arrest if Bitcoin is ban in the country.

Even if government warned you not to get involve with Bitcoin, how will they know if you do? I think the Ban is for the banks, meaning you can't publicly exchange Bitcoin into your local currency anymore unlike before, this was what happened when crypto was banned in my country and that was when I learned how to use Peer 2 Peer trading.

I think it's the same with what OP is saying, the Ban will only affect your Fiat to Crypto or Crypto to Fiat exchange.

No - unless you really want to deal with the authorities who can arrest you for illegal activity. You may be able to import a hardware wallet into a country where crypto is completely banned - but you may need to work with some corrupt government authorities including high-ranking government officials or the police.

But what's your goal? If you want to profit from selling hardware wallets - then trade with countries that don't completely ban crypto instead of threatening yourself with the law in force.

If it's banned in your country isn't your just putting yourself at risk? Some countries ban crypto industry or blockchain technology to avoid any transactions with decentralized system. In your post you OP, doesn't specified some information so it's hard to give advices and opinions. But based on your post, I think hardware wallet it's not really prohibited you can try searching online first in your country if there's available if there's none then it might not allowed. If that's the case try international orders of course check first if it's legit and for sure it wouldn't be a budget friendly since it's international delivery. And I think they wouldn't even know what's the hardware wallet purpose. Just be careful because once you are caught, you will have some record and they might have an eye for you or in short ban list.

Why should you choose a hardware wallet when you can still use the app on your computer or phone?
Do you really need the hardware wallet so are you wondering how to send the hardware wallet to your country?
Rather than complicate yourself with that, you are better off using an application or software as a place to store your crypto.
As long as you don't tell anyone about the crypto you have, you are still safe even if your country bans crypto.
But leaving it with your friends who are on vacation abroad or asking your friends who are abroad to send the hardware wallet to your home address can be a solution.
But I don't know how the process of identifying goods sent from abroad reaches your country and is sent to your home address.

The world has yet come to that point and I never read anywhere, in any nation that a person was arrested because of owning a hardware wallet or store Bitcoin, cryptocurrency at home. Nothing is serious like that so far but if I am living in nations like North Korea, I will be more careful. As I understood, in North Korea, you can be arrested and killed anytime for any reason the government is against you.

It is a good advice. Hardware wallet is not the only choice for us. Electrum wallet and other good open source, self custody wallets can help us to use free and don't have to buy a hardware wallet. It is important if buying a hardware wallet is risky for you.

If cryptos are illegal in your country to a point where it's illegal to own them, and the consequences can be a confiscation of funds and/or prison time and/or a significant fine, I don't think it's a good idea to buy a hardware wallet. I mean, it's likely possible to get one, but that's going to be incriminating evidence in such a country because if a person has a wallet, the authorities have a good reason to suspect that this person also has cryptos. So I side with those recommending a good non-custodial online wallet like Electrum if your choice is to keep and use cryptos in that country.

If cryptocurrency is banned in your country but you're interested in buying bitcoin privately and hodl in a hardware wallet and you also needs help on how to get one, well regarding the purchase of a hardware wallet, you can make order for it through international shipping and it will be handed over to you in person, but then you have to be very careful with the way you operate and needs to be more smarter, don't use a centralized exchange and don't let people know about what you're into with bitcoin since it's a decentralized p2p network, unless you exposed yourself, you can maintain being anonymous while using it.

A self custody wallet that is online doesn't give enough protection as a cold storage wallet, the op wants to buy a hardware wallet for a better security of their funds, so if they cannot get a hardware wallet, they have to set up their own air-gapped wallet using a self custody wallet like Electrum.

Op, i hope you know your problem doesn't stop at just getting a hardware wallet or setting up an air-gapped wallet, since crypto is banned in your country, you will have to take privacy very seriously, you mustn't buy BTC from any centralized exchange, it must be p2p and if you can, run your own node for privacy.

Why would they penalise you if it’s strictly legalised? Is it legalise or is it banned? They both are way way different mate. Anyhow you should check up with your customs whether hardware like this can be imported or not? It’s just that it falls under electronics category and not a crypto itself. If not then just generate a paper wallet from the VPN and get yourself a safe cold storage for very long period of time or until the time they open crypto channels for you guys. It happens to seem no problem at all. If you get Bitcoin address then you are good to go for receiving the funds. You may not be able to send them since for that you will need to install software wallet or access some exchangers that are banned. But consider this as your cold storage may be.

Do I understand correctly, crypto is banned in specific country, means it is restricted to trade and mine cryptocurrency only? No one forbids to hold crypto, meaning it isnt against law to buy a hardware wallet. If authorities ask, you can always say that you use that device abroad. I find it stupid to ban holding, that is impossible. What authorities can do if they find a strange looking USB stick near your PC? Confiscate it? But you should not care as long as you have a private key.

Hardware wallets are not picture frames where you need to display them, if you are having some Bitcoin and you travel down to a country where Bitcoin is banned, all you need to do is keep your recovery seed, don't go around looking for stores that can accept Bitcoin payment, Bitcoin holding has to be secretive, if you don't tell anyone they won't know.

When Bitcoin was ban in my country and I have a bad hardware wallet in my car safe with some USB drives I remember I was stopped and searched by the force but they don't even know what a hardware wallet looks like, they opened the safe in my car and they close it back, all are USB drives to them.

If someone you know talk about bitcoin in a country where it's banned, it's not wrong to deny knowing what Bitcoin is, this is for your own safety.

Things aren't as simply enforced as they sound. When you order something online from different countries, when they come at the borders of your country, they have to go through customs, through X-ray scanner and then the state-owned postal company will deliver it to you.
Even though if Bitcoin is illegal in a country, that doesn't mean that hardware wallets are illegal, it's like, THC is illegal but seeds are legal because they don't contain THC, they are legal till they grow.

But exclusively for you, let's imagine that hardware wallets are illegal too (which definitely aren't and can't be): First of all, customs should know how do hardware wallets look like, every custom should be informed about that in order to be able to detect it. Then, you have to keep in mind that customs receive so many items each day, they simply don't have time to check each of them, so, there is a chance that customs will probably miss your hardware wallet and you'll receive it without a problem. Then, you have to keep in mind that the thing that customs prioritize are guns, they mostly care about guns. When they check parcels, their priority is to exclude gun import in the first case.
So, even if hardware wallets become illegal, I wouldn't really worry if I were you. There is a very good chance that you'll receive your HW even if it's in black list.

It seems quite risky to import hardware wallets to any country where crypto currencies are banned, because that would be like importing illegal goods and the penalty might be imprisonment or a fine. However if you urgently need to import that hardware wallet, it seems that going through a customs official's channel should be fine to bribe them a bit, but of course it is very risky.
But the best way is that you can try a non-custodial wallet and you don't need to go through various complicated things in having a hardware wallet. And it should be safe to use a non-custodial wallet, because many people in countries that prohibit crypto adoption use non-custodial wallets to store their assets.

Since you are from Bangladesh, I will like you to ask people in this forum of on your local board if anyone is using a hardware wallet and how did he get it. You should also know the laws on crypto in your country so that you don't end up putting yourself into trouble. You can ease yourself the worries and stress of getting a hardware wallet by setting up an electrum wallet on an airgap device to serve for the purpose of a hardware wallet. It is safer that way but you need to be careful when doing this.

You can also use the Airgap Wallet mobile app with a phone that you don't use anymore. Preferably an Android phone, which allows you to switch off the networking functionality permanently, across reboots. Nobody is going to suspect an old phone being used a hardware wallet, at least not anyone you'd normally find at an airport.

Maybe receiving packaged shipping could also work, as long as the post office doesn't open your packages.

It is true that the hardware wallet doesn't contain any cryptocurrency (if crypto is not sent there beforehand), but in some countries it may not be allowed to be imported because it is an encryption device (a similar wording was voiced by the russian customs service some time in the past). So, HW devices can be banned (possibly for an indefinite period) regardless of direct connection with crypto currencies.

It is advisable to read the laws (of Bangladesh, if it is OP's country) on the possibility of importing hardware wallets and similar devices.

does this mean that they will also arrest people that own a hard wallet despite the hard wallet not having anything in it just because it is associated with cryptocurrency?
[/quote]
OP (and his compatriots) have a unique opportunity to learn this personally.

You have to change your sentence a bit, because you are saying Crypto are legalized, so it means it is legal in your country. Your thread subject on the other hand says that it is banned in your country. So you should rather say that it is illegal in your country. 

Well, I would not invest in a hardware wallet or even buy one that might get confiscated by the postal services. I will much rather use online software to generate a off-line Paper wallet or use a air-gapped computer to do it. It is just as safe and it will cost you nothing.. 

I'm from a cryptocurrency ban country, luckily I got a Trezor wallet from a friend here on the forum but it had a lot of difficulty getting it shipped to my country.

It was shipped to another country and through another friend who works in shipping and customs clearance, I finally managed to deliver it to my country after much effort and time.

Therefore, the best thing is to ship it through a friend coming from abroad and put it in his pocket so that no one will notice it because it is very small. If you are afraid of getting into trouble, it is better to forget about it and use an Electrum wallet.

The Crypto Wallet serves solely as a repository for cryptocurrencies. However, given that your government has proscribed the use of cryptocurrencies in your nation, I find it implausible for someone to purchase a hardware-based Crypto Wallet merely for ornamental or keychain purposes.

Nonetheless, should you observe instances where certain individuals have successfully smuggled narcotics into a country, you might still be able to import a hardware Crypto Wallet into your country using a similar approach. Be sure not to jeopardize your standing within the legal framework of your nation, as it undoubtedly poses a threat to your future. If your curiosity about cryptocurrencies persists, consider visiting a country where cryptocurrencies are legally accepted.

Most of countries where Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are prohibited, they just make prohibitions against cryptocurrency trading, exchanges between people. They don't mind if you install a wallet software on your devices, use it at home or buy a hardware wallet.

Set up an Electrum airgap wallet and use it is better for your OPSEC.

There are risks for air-gap computers too so if you are not good with tech, use a hardware wallet is better.

https://airgapcomputer.com/

If we talk about the possibility you can buy a hardware wallet without getting any trouble, there's always a way, but it's not something that you should since you still has an option to create your own cold storage.

I agree with the above users, just use your old device or buy a new cheap device which never connected to internet and run Electrum via offline.

For me self created cold storage is better than produced hardware wallet, you can read this Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities

In most developed countries you are usually free to buy drug accessories but not the drug itself. So even if crypto was banned , the hardware wallet wouldn’t be banned. However where you are from I don’t think that applies.

My advice just use something like Electrum offline. As long as you got some old laptop you no longer use you can create an offline wallet which signs your transactions on your online computer. Just go to the Electrum section of bitcointalk.

I would recommend you to go for a cold software based wallet instead of a hardware wallet because the software cold wallets are also very safe and one can use those without any issue. As far your cold wallet is not connected to internet your security is far higher than those hardware wallets, and in a country where Bitcoin is banned one should opt for software based wallet instead of hardware wallet.

I suggest you to go with Electrum if you made your mind to go with a cold software wallet because this wallet is open-source, and is currently the best wallet most of the investors use. I'm quite sure that most Bitcoiners who use Electrum are very sure that this is the safest option when it's used as a cold wallet. I highly recommend you to go with this wallet instead of looking for a hardware wallet, and yes, you should still be careful because there can be legal problems for a citizen if he/she is doing something that's banned in a country. Do it at your own risk my friend!

If you still want to go with a hardware wallet then try to build your own instead, and for that you can find many tutorials online which teach you that how you can built such a wallet yourself. I would recommend you to watch this video whose link I will post below because I think this video can be very helpful for you.

What do you mean by import a hardware wallet to any country?

You can buy a hardware wallet and use it to store cryptocurrency or send cryptocurrency to other wallets which can be hardware wallets or hot wallets or cold wallets or even online accounts like centralized exchanges.

Hardware wallets are not your only choices as you can use free open source non custodial wallets. You can use those wallet softwares to set up your multi signature wallets or cold wallets. They are free so if your budget is not enough to buy a hardware wallet, you can consider alternatives.

If you want to find hardware wallets.

Request for advice is almost the same as: How to buy a hardware wallet anonymously

I think if the government bans crypto doesn't mean they ban crypto related accessories as well, then buying a hardware wallet should be fine. If it is assumed that it is also prohibited, the clear legal risk is when shipping from abroad where the goods must go through customs inspection.

I remember that the Ledger wallet allows buyers to customize their wallet orders. Maybe with this trick (plus doing some of the suggestions in the thread I mentioned above), your item will be delivered without any problems. Anyway, DWYOR.

Don't think it is hard, if you own your key, then you don't worry about anything even if crypto is banned and very forbidden in your country. What thinks make you worried is if your Bitcoin assets are on an exchange and online wallet. Because if you have an asset where the country banned crypto then your asset on exchange and online wallet will be banned and frozen also. About hardware wallet, Now it's getting cheaper, you can choose a hardware wallet that many people use it. Or, if you don't enough money, you can use electrum where you can use it offline and save your key in anywhere.

As far as I know, Bangladesh is a country that still holds a hostile stance towards cryptocurrency and anything related to it.  I also have a friend from your country and he said that apart from investing or using cryptocurrency, buying hardware wallet is also not possible in your country.  my Bangladeshi friend can only buy hardware wallets through friends studying abroad, they will purchase hardware wallets and pass them on to his relatives in India, and he has to go to India to get it. he said it is the only way to buy hardware wallets because the government is very aggressive in blocking cryptocurrencies.

The only way I can think of is go out of the country and then purchase your hardware wallet. Or if you have a friend outside that lives in a country wherein crypto is legal or at least government are crypto friendly then you can ask your friend to purchase it for you. But still, it's either your friend take the risk of bringing it into your country by concealing it, or you yourself going out of your country and you are the one carrying it when you come back.

As for the hardware wallet, it's either,

Why would you use hardware wallet in a country wherein crypro is banned? Also why would they still invest if they're from that country? Your money would be on deep sleep if ever the restriction won't be lifted by the government. Also, this technology is not the only investment option so don't push it here. Let's say you are able to invest, but how would you pull it out? Let us not be too optimistic, there'd be a time you'd need to pull your investment out. If you are still that eager, I guess electrum wallets would be enough to allow you from doing so. It just depends on the ctual situation whether it is toatally banned or just not supported by governments.

As long as you're using a decentralized platform, no one can stop you because there are no intermediaries involved in the Bitcoin which is purely decentralized.  You may encounter problems when you mix it up using decentralized and using centralized platforms.

Here's a big list of what you need, [BIG LIST] Hardware wallets (80+).
But if you have a large amount of Bitcoin, I rather spend a hardware wallet that has good security features to secure my Bitcoin.
Always purchase hardware wallets directly from the official website or authorized resellers to avoid potential scams or tampered devices which is commonly happen.

Governments generally don't ban everything about crypto, they only ban trading it for fiat currency and using it for payments. It's most likely not illegal to own a hardware wallet. Although buying one could attract attention of authorities, but I'd say even that isn't very likely.

As for how to buy it - ask people in your local community, every country is different in terms of international shipments.

And remember, there's always an alternative way - using old PC or laptop as cold storage by never plugging it to the Internet and signing transactions offline.

I do not know how you're going to do that in such a way that it won't be risky for you, but if you can't get a hardware wallet and you need a strong security for your funds, set up an Electrum wallet on a completely air-gapped device ^[1], this will give you as much security as a hardware wallet if you do it correctly.
If you can manage to get a hardware wallet, then you should be looking for a secure and open source hardware wallet ^[2]

It could be a possibility we can’t say. The government sometimes are too stern on their rules and any attempt to break the rules are mostly treated like committing the crime it selves. So it would be better to not get in there way.

Hey ~speedx~ l would say take the advice of crypto Library, because your personal safety is always paramount to everything. Aside hardware wallets. I have read about how all this non custodian wallets like electrum wallet can work almost perfectly when air gapped, why not try that way instead and then if your country restrictions towards bitcoin lessens you can buy yourself a hardware wallet

May be not or may be yes. Because surely no one will use or order a hardware wallet who is not associated with crypto currency?
And if the ordered person is identified once, maybe atleast inquiry will be conducted against him? My point is what is the need to get into trouble or identify as a crypto currency user.
For now, even if you use cold wallet without thinking about hardware wallet, may be it works ?

does the hard wallet contain cryptocurrency? if not, I don't see why there would be trouble to get one or import one. but just to be sure, you'd better read the country(seems like to are from Bangladesh) law against cryptocurrencies.

does this mean that they will also arrest people that own a hard wallet despite the hard wallet not having anything in it just because it is associated with cryptocurrency?

Hey, buddy why you do wanna get in trouble?I am seeing you are from my local community, Don't you know what is going on Bangladesh? You should know how people associated with cryptocurrency are being sent to jail.
Even then you wanna take risks the illegal way are opens for you, but it's contained huge risk. Moreover, you can buy some of your relatives or friends when they come to the country from abroad I pray that they are not caught at the airport, moreover you can bring it from India through roads.


Know the specifications details and compare with those to each other. here is an website where comparing 39 Hardware Wallets feature  you can visit- The BitcoinHole

I hope you will not face any trouble 

I am from a country where crypto currencies are strongly legalized. I know about the hardware wallet security it's best for the long-term bitcoin holder. Now is there anyway to import a hardware wallet to any country where crypto currencies are illegal ?
And one more things I wanna know that how can I chose a best budget friendly hardware wallet?
