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? 


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.

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.
