Sourcing Garment and Textile Materials from China for the RMG Sector

Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector runs on a steady supply of quality materials, and China remains a major source for fabrics, yarn, and accessories. Here is how to source them efficiently.

What the RMG sector imports

Common materials sourced from China include:

Woven and knit fabrics
Yarn and thread
Zippers, buttons, and fasteners
Labels, tags, and elastic
Interlining and trims

Buy in bulk, ship smart

Garment accessories are often small but needed in large quantities. This is where consolidation shines. Combine zippers, labels, buttons, and trims from several suppliers into one shipment to keep your cost per unit low.

Match quality to your buyer's standard

Export garments must meet strict buyer requirements. When sourcing materials:

Always approve a physical sample first
Confirm color fastness and consistency
Check that materials meet any compliance standards your buyer requires
Lock in the specification in writing before bulk production

Timing is everything in RMG

Garment production runs on tight deadlines. A late shipment of trims can hold up an entire order. Plan lead times carefully, and use air freight for urgent items while moving bulk fabric by sea.
