Clothing manufacturer in Bangladesh for e-commerce brands

Match against objects, not memories. When your first order is approved, ask for a sealed sample to be kept, along with the approved lab dips for every colour, the fabric details including mill and quality reference, and the final measurement sheet. A reorder is then produced against those physical standards and checked against them at inspection, which is far more reliable than comparing against a photograph or a description. Keep the same fabric source where possible: the same weight from a different mill will feel different, even when the specification on paper is identical. If a component has to change, for example a discontinued trim, we tell you before production and send a new sample for approval rather than substituting quietly. That is the single biggest cause of angry reviews on repeat purchases.

Yes. Tell us your 3PL’s goods-in requirements and the goods are packed to them. That usually means each garment in its own polybag with the barcode label in a fixed position and orientation, garments folded to a set size, and cartons labelled with SKU, size, quantity and purchase order number. Some fulfilment centres want solid-size cartons, others want ratio packs; both are fine as long as it is specified before packing starts. Packing and carton marks are checked at the final inspection, so a mistake is caught before the goods ship. If your warehouse charges for non-compliant deliveries, send us the penalty schedule too: it is cheaper to meet the rules in Bangladesh than to fix pallets on arrival. The packing specification is confirmed on the pre-production sample; keep it with your order records, so every reorder is packed the same way without being briefed again.

Yes. Send us the label artwork or the label files your marketplace or fulfilment centre generates, with the rule for where each label goes: on the polybag, on the hang tag, or on the carton. Unit labels such as an EAN barcode or a marketplace item label are applied per piece at packing, size stickers go on the polybag, and carton labels carry the SKU and quantity your receiving team scans. We confirm the label placement on the pre-production sample and check a random sample of packed units at the final inspection, so a mislabelled batch is caught before it ships rather than at the warehouse dock. If your fulfilment centre has a packing manual, send it with the order; most requirements, such as suffocation warnings on polybags or maximum carton weights, are easy to meet when we know them before packing starts and expensive to fix afterwards.

For a brand without a freight forwarder, DDP, delivered to your warehouse with duty paid, is usually the simplest, because the quoted price is close to your landed cost and one party is responsible for the journey. Ask for the duty rate and the tariff code used in the quote and check them, because they decide the price. Brands that already have a forwarder, or ship into the United States where tariffs have changed several times, often prefer FOB Chattogram plus a customs broker they control, so they see every line and carry the duty risk knowingly. Either way, remember that import VAT paid by someone else as importer is normally not yours to reclaim, which matters if you are VAT-registered in the UK or EU. Our shipping guide sets out what each term commits you to, and we quote FOB and DDP side by side so you can compare them on your own numbers.

No: CMB Sourcing Ltd. does not dropship or post single garments to shoppers, because every order is a production run that starts at 500 pieces per style and colour and ships in bulk to your warehouse or fulfilment centre. The border rules now point the same way. The United States suspended its duty-free de minimis allowance for parcels worth US$800 or less on 29 August 2025, so each parcel from Bangladesh pays duty like any other import. The EU removed its exemption for consignments worth up to €150 on 1 July 2026 and, until 1 July 2028, charges a temporary €3 customs duty per item, counted per tariff line in the declaration. One bulk shipment means one customs entry, one duty calculation and domestic delivery times. If you sell in several countries, ask for the order to be packed by destination, so each warehouse receives its own cartons and documents.

Yes, Amazon accepts inventory shipped straight from a factory in Bangladesh to its fulfilment centres, but only as a delivered, duty-paid shipment with someone other than Amazon named as importer of record. Amazon’s Seller Central help page for the US store, read on 1 October 2026, says Amazon will not serve as importer of record for any shipment of FBA inventory, that a shipment entered with Amazon as importer is refused and returned at the shipper’s expense, and that all shipments must use Delivered Duty Paid terms. The fulfilment centre may be listed as the deliver-to party, written as your legal name in care of FBA, and the commercial invoice should carry the FBA shipment ID. We quote DDP, so ask in writing who is named as importer of record on that quote. Each carton also needs the box ID label from your seller account, so send the files before packing.

An online clothing listing must show the fibre composition before purchase in the EU and Great Britain, and must say whether the garment is imported or made in the USA when sold in the United States. Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 requires the fibre composition to be clearly visible to the consumer before purchase, including when the purchase is made by electronic means, and the version kept in Great Britain says the same. Since 13 December 2024, Article 19 of the EU General Product Safety Regulation also requires an online offer to show the manufacturer’s name and postal and electronic address, the EU responsible person where the manufacturer is outside the Union, a picture and product identifier, and any warnings. In the US, 16 CFR 303.34 requires the origin statement in mail order and online product descriptions. Copy the composition from the bulk fabric’s test report into the listing.

The reorder point for clothing made in Bangladesh is your daily sales multiplied by the total lead time in days, plus a safety stock, and the order has to be placed when stock falls to that number. Total lead time is the production time stated on your quote, plus the sea leg, which SEKO Logistics’ published guide puts at 22 to 30 days to the UK and Europe and 18 to 35 days to the United States, plus customs clearance and goods-in at your warehouse. If those add up to 100 days and a style sells 15 pieces a day, the reorder is due when 1,500 pieces remain, before any safety stock. Each Eid holiday costs about two working weeks of production, so add them when a run crosses one. A reorder is a production order at our normal minimum, from 500 pieces per style and colour.
