Garments Stock Lot Price in Bangladesh

Short answer

There is no single price for garment stock lots in Bangladesh. Each lot is priced on its own. The main things that decide the price are:

• the product (T-shirt, hoodie, jeans, jacket and so on)
• the fabric and GSM (fabric type and weight)
• the grade (Grade A, Grade B or mixed)
• the quantity you take
• the size ratio (how the pieces split across sizes)
• the packing (polybags, hangtags, export cartons)
• the brand and label status (original labels, removed labels or no labels)
• the timing (how long the lot has been waiting, and the season)
• the Incoterm (FOB, CFR or CIF, which decides who pays for shipping)

So the useful question is not "what is the price?" but "what is the price for this exact lot, on these terms?"

The price factors, one by one

Product type. A hoodie uses more fabric and sewing than a basic T-shirt, and jeans need washing and more trims. More material and work usually means a higher price.

Fabric and GSM. GSM is the fabric weight in grams per square metre. A heavier fabric uses more yarn, so a heavy T-shirt usually costs more than a light one in the same style. Fabric content matters too: for example 100% cotton, cotton-polyester blends, fleece or stretch denim are priced differently.

Grade. Grade A (first quality) is priced higher than Grade B (goods with small faults). Mixed-grade lots are usually lower again. If you are not sure what each grade means, read our guide on what stock lot clothing is.

Quantity. Buying the full lot usually gets a better price per piece than buying part of it, because a split lot leaves the seller with a harder-to-sell remainder.

Size ratio. A lot with a balanced spread of popular sizes is easier to resell, so it can hold its price. A lot with many very small or very large sizes is harder to move and is often priced lower.

Packing. Lots with full original packing (individual polybags, hangtags, export cartons) are worth more than loose or mixed packing. If the seller has to re-pack the goods for you, that extra work can be added to the price.

Brand and label status. Some surplus garments still carry the labels they were made with. Others have labels removed or cut. Label status affects both price and where you can legally sell the goods, so always ask about it.

Timing. A lot that has been in a warehouse for a long time, or a seasonal item near the end of its season, is often priced to move. Fresh lots, or items just before their season starts, can be priced higher.

Incoterm. An FOB price does not include sea freight to your country. A CFR or CIF price does. The same lot will therefore show different prices under different Incoterms. More on this below.

Why the same T-shirt lot can have very different prices

Two sellers can both offer "basic round-neck T-shirts" at very different prices, and both can be fair. For example:

• One lot is a heavier cotton jersey; the other is a light cotton-poly blend. Same look in a photo, different fabric cost.
• One lot is Grade A with full packing; the other is Grade B, loose-packed, with some missing hangtags.
• One seller quotes for the full lot; the other quotes for a small part of it.
• One lot has a balanced size spread; the other is mostly very large sizes.
• One price is FOB at the Bangladesh port; the other is CIF to your port, with freight and insurance already inside.

A low price on its own tells you very little. You can see how we list fabric, sizes and packing on our T-shirt stock lots and jeans stock lots pages.

How to read a price quote

A clear stock lot quote should answer these questions:

Is the price per piece? Most quotes are per piece. Some may be per dozen or for the whole lot. Check which one, and multiply it out so you know the total.

Which Incoterm is it?

• FOB (Free On Board): the seller's price covers the goods until they are loaded on the ship at the port in Bangladesh. You pay sea freight, insurance and costs at your end.
• CFR (Cost and Freight): the price also includes sea freight to your named port.
• CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): like CFR, plus basic cargo insurance.

What is included? Ask if the price covers polybags, hangtags, export cartons, carton marking, and the export documents (for example the commercial invoice, packing list and, where needed, a certificate of origin). Small extras can change the real cost.

How long is the price valid? Stock lots sell fast, and a price is usually only held for a short time. Look for a validity date on the quote. If there is none, ask.

How to compare quotes from different sellers fairly

Make sure every quote is for the same thing. Check:

1. Same grade, with the same written definition of defects.
2. Same fabric and GSM. Ask for the fabric content and weight in writing.
3. Same quantity: full lot vs part lot.
4. Same size ratio, or at least a similar one.
5. Same packing standard.
6. Same Incoterm and same port. Do not compare an FOB price with a CIF price. Ask every seller to quote on the same term.
7. Same validity period and payment terms.

Then compare total landed cost, not only the price per piece. Landed cost is the price plus freight, insurance, import duty and local costs in your country. Our guide on how to import clothes from Bangladesh explains these costs in more detail.

How to get a quote faster

• Product: for example men's basic T-shirts, kids' hoodies or denim jeans
• Quantity: how many pieces you need, and if you can take a full lot
• Sizes: the size range and, if you can, the ratio you want
• Fabric and GSM: if you have a preference
• Grade: Grade A only, or Grade B is fine
• Target price: the price you are aiming for, so the seller can show lots that fit
• Destination port: so the seller can quote FOB or CFR/CIF to your port

If no current lot matches, a sourcing seller can look for one for you. If you need a specific design, fabric or label, you can also consider new production. RMG Textile arranges made-to-order runs through partner factories; see manufacturing.
