FAQ

What buyers ask first

Zero Yards International is a Bangladesh apparel sourcing partner based in Dhaka. We provide supplier support and garment export program support for private label and OEM buyers, helping teams move from product brief and tech pack through sampling, production coordination, quality oversight, and shipment readiness.

Yes. Canada is our primary focus, followed by the United States, alongside the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and other Nordic markets. Share your destination and warehouse date early so sampling, production and freight planning can be coordinated.

Support spans basic T-shirts, polos, henleys, sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, loungewear, activewear, undergarments, body warmers, sweaters, denim and non-denim woven. We confirm category fit in the first conversation based on your program needs.

Minimums depend on fabric, construction, and factory setup. For many basic knit and casual styles, programs can often start in the low hundreds of pieces per style when the right factory match is available. Complex washes, special trims, or niche fabrics usually need higher quantities. We do not publish a frozen MOQ table, because the workable number belongs with a real brief.

A practical planning window for many Bangladesh apparel programs is about 60 to 90 days of production after sample approval and order confirmation, then sea freight. Ocean transit to US and Canadian gateways usually needs a longer calendar than Northern Europe. Sampling and fabric booking sit in front of that window, so share your warehouse or in-store date early.

Quality control for garment programs stays practical: specifications, checkpoints, and clear communication so buyers can decide with full context. Reviews cover measurements, construction, packaging readiness, and issue logging.

Social audit and compliance documents are handled against the requirement list in your brief. Common program marks such as BSCI, SMETA, WRAP, GOTS, and related textile standards appear on our site as standards used across programs. Zero Yards International does not claim to hold those certificates.

Share as much as you have: product category, target market, style references or tech pack if ready, fabric direction, and where you are in development. Even a short brief is enough to open a practical first conversation.
