Sourcing from Bangladesh — FAQ
Is Bangladesh good for apparel sourcing?
Yes — Bangladesh is the world's second-largest garment exporter after China. It offers the most competitive pricing for high-volume basics, knitwear and woven garments. Duty-free access to the EU and UK adds further cost advantages. It's best suited to larger order volumes due to factory MOQs.
How do I ensure factory compliance and ethics in Bangladesh?
Look for factories certified under the RSC (RMG Sustainability Council, successor to the Accord). Verify BSCI, SEDEX/SMETA, WRAP or SA8000 social compliance certifications. Request the factory's safety audit history. Reputable buyers conduct their own social compliance audits before placing orders.
What are typical MOQs and lead times in Bangladesh?
MOQs are generally higher than Turkey or smaller Asian suppliers — often 1,000–5,000 pieces per style due to large factory scale. Lead times run 60–120 days including fabric sourcing. Bangladesh is best for planned, high-volume seasonal orders rather than quick reactive production.
What duty benefits apply to Bangladesh imports?
As a Least Developed Country (LDC), Bangladesh enjoys duty-free, quota-free access to the EU under "Everything But Arms" and similar UK arrangements. This can save 9.6–12% in import duties on garments compared to China. Ensure your supplier provides a valid GSP Form A certificate of origin.
