Full Guide
BangladeshExport.com is a B2B supplier discovery platform connecting international buyers with verified Bangladeshi exporters. Registration is completely free for buyers — there are no listing fees, no transaction commissions, and no subscription requirements. The platform is designed to make sourcing from Bangladesh as transparent and efficient as possible.
To register as a buyer, you'll need: a valid business email address (Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook accepted but company email preferred for verification), your company name and country, a brief description of what you source, and a password. Optional but recommended: company logo, website URL, business license number (helps with supplier trust). The registration form is at /register/buyer and takes 2-3 minutes.
Once registered, you unlock these features:
- **Verified supplier directory**: Browse 1,000+ Bangladeshi suppliers with company profiles, product catalogues, certifications (ISO, WRAP, BSCI, GOTS, LWG, etc.), and member badges (Verified, Gold, Diamond)
- **Contact reveal**: View verified phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses of suppliers (limited to 10 reveals/day for free buyers; unlimited for premium)
- **RFQ system**: Send Request for Quote to one or multiple suppliers simultaneously — suppliers respond with price, MOQ, lead time, and payment/delivery terms within 48-72 hours
- **Shortlist & Compare**: Save up to 50 suppliers to your shortlist and compare them side-by-side on price, certifications, lead time, and MOQ
- **Watchlist**: Get notified when a supplier adds new products, updates certifications, or changes pricing
- **Messaging**: Direct messaging with suppliers (no need for external email) — all conversations tracked and searchable
- **RFQ response comparison**: When suppliers respond to your RFQ, see all responses in a single comparison view with sortable columns
- **Trade show calendar**: Stay updated on upcoming Bangladeshi trade fairs (Dhaka International Trade Fair, Bangladesh Apparel Summit, etc.)
Buyer verification: While not mandatory, you can submit your business license and trade references to receive a 'Verified Buyer' badge. This significantly improves response rates from suppliers (verified buyers get priority responses and often better pricing). Verification takes 3-5 business days.
The platform also provides free market intelligence: weekly export statistics updates, sector-specific reports, customs tariff changes, and trade agreement news. Subscribe to the newsletter during registration to receive these in your inbox.
