Textile (DoT) License / Buying House License in Bangladesh
Get your garment or textile business approved by the Department of Textiles — Segunbagicha Consultancy makes the licensing process simple and compliant.
To legally operate a textile, garments, or buying house business in Bangladesh, you must obtain approval from the Department of Textiles (DoT) under the Ministry of Textiles and Jute.
This license ensures your business meets all legal, environmental, and export standards required for textile and apparel operations.
At Segunbagicha Consultancy, we provide end-to-end assistance in obtaining your Textile (DoT) License or Buying House License, including document preparation, submission, inspection coordination, and final approval.
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.
