Importing from Bangladesh: common questions

How do I import from Bangladesh to Australia?

Send us your product details and quantity. We find suitable manufacturers in Bangladesh, arrange samples for your approval, check quality and ship the goods to Australia.

What can I import from Bangladesh?

Our main ranges are clothing (custom and surplus), bed linen and towels, leather wallets and bags, and footwear. We also source jute bags, handicrafts and home décor, and plastic homewares.

Do I need a sourcing agent to import from Bangladesh?

No, but an agent helps if you don’t already have a trusted factory, can’t visit Bangladesh, or want samples and quality checked locally before goods are shipped.

How long does it take to import from Bangladesh?

It depends on the product. Ready-made surplus stock can ship soon after approval, while custom orders need time for sampling, production and sea or air freight. Each quotation includes an estimated timeline.

Is Solvanta licensed to export from Bangladesh?

Yes. Solvanta is registered in Australia and holds an Export Registration Certificate (ERC) and an Import Registration Certificate (IRC) in Bangladesh, so we manage export from Bangladesh directly. Certificate details are available on request.

What is the minimum order when importing from Bangladesh?

Custom orders start at 500 pieces per design. Minimums for ready-made and surplus stock depend on the supplier and the lot, and are shown in your quotation.
