Trade programmes

Three ways to buy from us

Our tiers, payment terms and Incoterms are published on this page rather than held back for negotiation. You should be able to decide whether we are worth an enquiry before you send one.

Importers & wholesalers

You hold stock and sell on to retail. We supply catalogue styles in your quantities under our label or plain, consolidated into full or part containers.

Mixed-style container consolidation
Annual volume tiers with fixed pricing
Territory discussion after two shipments

Corporate gifting & events

You need a branded bag by a fixed date. We handle artwork, one sample for sign-off, and delivery to your office or venue on DDP terms.

MOQ from 300 pieces per design
DDP delivery to a single address
Air freight option for tight event dates

Private label & retail brands

You sell under your own brand. We develop to your tech pack, apply your labelling and barcodes, and ship retail-ready.

Woven labels, hang tags, EAN barcodes
Retail-ready individual packing
Design confidentiality on request

Volume tiers

What loyalty is worth

Tiers are assessed on rolling twelve-month volume, not on a calendar year, and are reviewed after every shipment. Moving up a tier applies to your next order — we do not make you wait for an anniversary.

Tier	Rolling 12-month volume	Discount on list	What is added
Trial	First order	—	Sample cost credited, named workshop disclosed, photographic QC report.
Bronze	5,000 +	3%	Free sampling on new styles, priority slot in the production calendar.
Silver	20,000 +	6%	Payment moves to 20/80, two free lab tests per year, dedicated merchandiser.
Gold	75,000 +	9%	60-day credit terms subject to review, held safety stock on two styles, territory discussion.

Volumes are in pieces across all styles. Discounts apply to unit price and not to freight, one-off charges or testing fees.

Terms of supply

The commercial detail, stated once

These are our standard terms. They are a starting position, not an ultimatum — tell us what your procurement policy requires and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.

Pricing & quotations

How a number becomes something you can put in a spreadsheet.

Validity: 21 days from issue. Jute fabric and ocean freight both move, so a quotation held open indefinitely would be a free option written against us.
Quantity bands: Every quotation shows three bands, so you can see what volume does to the unit price before deciding how much to buy.
One-off charges: Screen, cylinder and embroidery digitising charges are itemised separately and never folded into the unit price. They are waived on repeat orders of the same artwork.
Price basis: Per piece on the stated Incoterm, exclusive of destination duty, local delivery and any buyer-side testing. Ask and we will show you the cost build-up behind the number.
Currency: Quoted and invoiced in USD. EUR and GBP invoicing available at the spot rate on the invoice date.

Payment

Structured so that neither side is ever funding the whole order alone.

First order: 30% advance by telegraphic transfer, 70% against scanned documents before release.
Letter of credit: Irrevocable LC at sight through a first-class bank, accepted from the first order.
Repeat buyers: 20/80 from Silver tier; 60-day credit considered at Gold tier after three clean settlements.
Bank charges: Each side bears its own bank's charges. LC amendment fees are borne by whichever party requests the amendment.

Lead times & delays

Including what we do not control, stated before you need it.

Quantity	Sampling	Production
300 – 999	7–10 d	28–35 d
1,000 – 9,999	7 d	25–30 d
10,000 +	5–7 d	30–40 d

The clock starts: On the later of two events: your written approval of the pre-production sample, and receipt of the advance or a workable letter of credit.
Sea transit, added: Northern Europe 28–34 days, US East Coast 32–40, US West Coast 24–30, the Gulf 12–18. Confirm with your forwarder — schedules change weekly.
Peak season: August to October is congested for Q4 gifting. Book September shipments by June if the date is fixed.
If a date slips: Port congestion, vessel roll-overs, strikes and the monsoon are real here, and we build buffer into every promised date. If one is still at risk you hear from us within 24 hours of us knowing, with a revised date and the air-freight option priced. We do not go quiet.

Shipping & Incoterms

FOB Chittagong unless you ask for something else.

EXW: Ex works Dhaka. You appoint the forwarder and collect from our consolidation point.
FOB: Our standard. FOB Chittagong or Mongla, goods loaded and cleared for export.
CFR CIF: We book the sea freight, and insurance under CIF, to your named destination port.
DDP: Delivered duty paid to your door. Offered for most of the EU, UK, US and GCC — ask for a specific quote.
Air freight: Available for event deadlines and samples. Expect roughly six to ten times the sea freight cost per kilogram.

Packing & marking

Sent with every quotation, so your logistics team can model the load before you commit.

Individual packing: Paper belly-band as standard. Individual polybag, printed sleeve or retail hang-tag on request.
Master carton: Five-ply export carton, with dimensions and pieces per carton stated in the quotation. Gross weight kept under 20 kg for single-person handling.
Marking: Your carton marking on two faces: purchase order number, SKU, quantity, gross and net weight, and country of origin.
Barcodes: EAN or UPC applied to the piece, the inner and the carton, from the number range you supply.
Loading: Loose-loaded by default to maximise container fill. Palletised to your specification where your warehouse requires it.

Quality, inspection & claims

Measured against a physical piece you signed, not against an adjective.

The benchmark: The pre-production sample you approve and sign becomes the contractual quality standard. We keep a countersigned twin in Dhaka for the life of the style.
Tolerance: ±1 cm on dimensions under 40 cm, ±1.5 cm above, ±5% on fabric weight. Printed in the quotation, so there is nothing to argue about at inspection.
Claim window: 30 days from arrival at your named destination, with photographs, the affected quantity and the carton numbers. Nothing needs to be shipped back to us.
If we disagree: We jointly appoint SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas and accept their finding. The party whose position is not upheld pays the fee.

Every shipment is inspected to AQL 2.5 for major defects and AQL 4.0 for minor, against the signed sample.
You receive the inspection report with photographs and a measurement sheet before the container leaves.
You may appoint SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas or your own inspector at any stage; we cover the access, you cover the fee.
Claims are accepted within 30 days of arrival with photographs and the affected quantity. Verified defects are credited or replaced in the next shipment, at your choice.

Documentation provided

Issued as standard with every shipment, not supplied as a favour on request.

Proforma invoice and sales contract before the advance
Commercial invoice and packing list with carton-level detail
Bill of lading or air waybill
Certificate of origin from the issuing chamber
Fumigation and phytosanitary certificates where the destination requires them
Test reports, REACH declaration and social audit reference on request

On tariffs Duty treatment for Bangladeshi goods is changing as the country graduates from least-developed-country status. Confirm the current rate and rules of origin for your tariff line with your own customs broker before you build a landed cost — we will supply whatever documentation your broker asks for.

Artwork, tooling & confidentiality

Who owns what you paid for. Short answer: you do.

Your artwork: Stays yours. We use it solely to produce your order and hold it no longer than the commercial relationship.
Screens & tooling: Screens, cylinders, patterns and embroidery files produced for your design belong to you once the one-off charge is paid. You may have them released to another supplier on request.
Confidentiality: We will sign your NDA. Private-label designs never appear in our catalogue, brochure or social media without written permission.
Exclusivity: Catalogue styles remain available to other buyers unless a written exclusivity is agreed. Custom constructions developed to your tech pack are not offered to anyone else.

These terms are summarised here for transparency and are superseded by the signed sales contract for any given order. Where your procurement policy conflicts with something above, say so in your first email — we would rather negotiate it once than discover it at shipment.
