Frequently Asked Questions

The 5% fee is invoiced strictly upon delivery and formal quality acceptance of goods at destination port. We charge zero listing fees, zero upfront introduction fees, and zero commissions if a commercial conversation does not conclude into a confirmed contract.

No. NordicBangla does not hold buyer escrow or handle banking transfers directly. Buyer and supplier establish their own standard international commercial terms (such as TT wire with 30% advance and 70% against Bill of Lading, or Letter of Credit). NordicBangla remains a neutral facilitator, invoicing 5% separately upon verified goods receipt.

Initial masking ensures that both parties evaluate commercial proposals on objective technical criteria (price, lead time, certifications, machinery tolerances) rather than unsolicited solicitations. Direct company contact details and factory address credentials can be exchanged once both parties mutually accept counter-sample terms.

Our on-the-ground technical teams in Dhaka inspect corporate trade licenses, RSC / ACCORD building structural and fire safety certifications, effluent wastewater treatment plants (ETP), and chain-of-custody documentation for GOTS organic cotton, OEKO-TEX, and FSC wood before admitting any facility.

Most cross-border transactions are quoted under standard Incoterms 2020: FOB Chattogram (sea freight booked by buyer), CIF Gothenburg/Oslo/Aarhus (sea freight booked by mill), or DAP/DDP for air courier samples. Our platform generates standardized proforma invoices and purchase orders aligned with international maritime standards.

Direct maritime feeder routes from Chattogram port to European transshipment hubs (Rotterdam/Hamburg) and onto Gothenburg, Aarhus, or Oslo typically require 28 to 34 days port-to-port. For urgent sample approvals or small batches, direct air cargo from Dhaka (DAC) to Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) takes 4 to 6 days.

Because our staff conducts a physical AQL 2.5 pre-shipment inspection with high-resolution photographic proof before container stuffing, defect disputes are minimized upfront. In the rare event of damage or transit loss, our neutral inspection report serves as documented evidence for maritime insurance and commercial resolution.
