What Is a Textile (DoT) License?
A Textile (DoT) License is an official permit issued by the Department of Textiles that allows a textile-related business — such as a garments factory, dyeing/printing unit, or export buying house — to operate legally.
It confirms that the business follows industry standards, quality controls, and compliance as per Bangladesh’s textile regulations.
What Is a Buying House License?
A Buying House License is required for businesses that act as intermediaries between foreign apparel buyers and local manufacturers.
It enables the company to represent international brands, manage export orders, and handle quality control and shipment coordination.
Buying houses are a key part of Bangladesh’s garment export ecosystem — and must be registered with the Department of Textiles (DoT) before operation.
