Fabric supplier for Bangladesh garment factories

We supply woven and MMF fabrics to garment factories and buying houses in Dhaka, Chittagong and Gazipur. This page exists because the questions from Bangladesh buyers are specific, and we would rather answer them here than over three rounds of email.

What we understand about your reality

  • Lead time is the first question, not price. Our standard is 25-35 days to FOB; we quote with a buffer for Chittagong scheduling, not without one.
  • The L/C is part of the product. We work with back-to-back and usance L/C and accept confirmed L/C from international banks.
  • Woven is where supply is tightest. Local woven self-sufficiency is far below knitted, so that is where we concentrate our capacity.
  • MMF is the growth category. Recycled polyester and nylon with GRS transaction certificates per shipment.
  • Documents must be clean. UD / UP paperwork, packing list, and test reports prepared to your buying house’s format.

The market in numbers

These are the figures behind how we plan capacity for Bangladesh. Published industry data, not our own estimates.

Import values differ between sources because the HS codes included differ: USDA reports cotton woven fabric only (HS 5208 + 5209) at US$1.96 bn for CY2024, while TexPro covers all fabric categories. We state both rather than pick the flattering one.

On payment risk: we price honestly and we expect to be paid on time. For new relationships we prefer confirmed L/C through an international bank, or T/T with deposit. We will not quote a price that depends on a 180-day rolling payment.
