Clothing Manufacturer for Canadian Brands

Yes, DDP — delivered duty paid. We handle export from Bangladesh, freight, Canadian customs entry through CBSA, and any duty owed, and the price we quote is the landed price. No broker invoice arrives afterwards. Air freight to Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal adds roughly six to eight days door to door and suits launch dates; sea freight adds about thirty-five to forty days, routing through Vancouver for the west or Montreal for the east, at a fraction of the cost. GST remains payable by you as importer — that is a tax rather than a duty, and it is recoverable if you are registered. We send the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin before the goods move, so your accountant has the paperwork in advance rather than chasing it. If you need the goods delivered to a third-party fulfilment centre rather than your own address, tell us at quote stage and we will arrange it.

No, and this was recently confirmed for the long term. Bangladesh had duty-free access under Canada's LDCT since 2003, due to end at Bangladesh's LDC graduation on 24 November 2026 — which would otherwise have meant roughly 17% average duty on apparel. Canada has moved to extend access via the General Preferential Tariff scheme, reported to run to 2034 and conditioned on labour and environmental compliance. Treat the end date as reported rather than settled — check the CBSA tariff schedule below, or ask us and we will confirm it for your shipment. Tariff schedules change and we'd rather you had the live figure than this page's, so we confirm current rates per order. Our GOTS certification and BKMEA membership are exactly the kind of documentation that condition is checking for.

One hundred pieces per style, per colour. That floor exists because of fabric, not sewing: knit fabric is produced in minimum runs on circular machines, and dyeing happens in lots, so a hundred pieces is roughly where the material stops being sampling and starts being production. For a Canadian brand testing a first range, a realistic opening order is three to five hundred pieces across two or three styles. We would generally steer you toward fewer styles ordered deeper rather than a wide shallow range — a hundred each of five styles costs meaningfully more per piece than five hundred of two, and the sell-through data from a deeper run is far more useful when you decide what to reorder.

About ten days for sampling, forty to fifty days for bulk once the pre-production sample is approved, then freight. Air freight to Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal adds roughly six to eight days door to door. Sea freight adds about thirty-five to forty days, routing through Vancouver for western Canada or Montreal for the east, and costs a fraction of air. We ship DDP, so we clear CBSA and cover duty, and you receive the goods without a customs invoice following behind. GST is still payable by you as importer — that is a tax, not a duty, and it is recoverable if you are registered. We will tell you the realistic date at quote stage, including the freight leg, rather than quoting the factory date alone.

Yes, GOTS-certified under certificate RSC 9687, which is listed in the Global Standard public database so you can verify it yourself rather than trusting a logo on a website. GOTS certifies the chain rather than just the fibre: permitted chemical inputs, wastewater treatment and audited labour conditions. That distinction matters in Canada specifically, because the extended duty-free access under the General Preferential Tariff is reported to be conditioned on labour and environmental compliance — so a verifiable certificate is not only a marketing asset, it is aligned with the basis of the preference itself. We can issue a Transaction Certificate covering your specific order when you need documented proof for a retailer, a marketplace listing or your own compliance file.
