Leather Gloves Exporters in Bangladesh: Verification Checklist
Eleven evidence items for leather gloves exporters in Bangladesh: identity, export, tax, bank, making site, tannery audit, protective and labeling evidence, sample, trial and references, each with the match it must pass.
Short answer
Judge a leather gloves exporter in Bangladesh on an evidence record, not on a listing: hold the trade licence, incorporation papers, ERC, TIN and VAT documents, bank details in the company name, the named making site, tannery audit evidence, protective-glove and labeling evidence where they apply, a sealed sample pair, a trial record and written references, and check that the name and address match across every document before paying a deposit.

Key takeaways
Hold one evidence record per exporter and compare names and addresses across every document before any deposit is paid.
A tannery audit names an audited site, a rating and an expiry date; it is not evidence about the glove in the buyer's hand.
Protective claims need a laboratory report naming the glove, standard, method and result; an X on a pictogram means a test was not performed.
A badge records only the checks its own wording names; it is not a factory inspection or a promise about delivery.
A sealed sample pair and a trial record on the same specification and site are what keep a bulk lot true to the sample.
When you search for leather gloves exporters bangladesh, the results mix makers, traders and agents, and listings alone do not separate them. This checklist judges the company: hold the document named in each item, check it against the others, and record mismatches. No company is named here, and no price or capacity is stated as fact.
A document proves only what it names. A strong answer on one item does not cover a missing answer on another.
Why the record matters more than the listing
A listing states a product, a price and a delivery promise. The order rests on longer paper: the legal name on the invoice, the registration supporting export, the tax identity on the shipment file, the bank account, and the making site. When those papers disagree, the buyer learns late. Work this checklist while quotations are still being compared.
Have these five items ready before you open a profile
Settle these in writing first: (1) the glove requirement, including job, sizes, colors, lining, closure and the specification version for samples; (2) the destination markets, since labeling and protective-glove rules differ by market; (3) the order size band and counting basis (see the MOQ guide); (4) any protective claim, confirmed with a compliance adviser; (5) the person owning the file and the deposit decision.
The evidence record for leather gloves exporters in Bangladesh
Eleven items follow, each naming the evidence to hold, how to check it, and the failure mode if it is skipped.
1. Registered identity: trade licence and incorporation papers
Evidence to hold. The current trade licence and, for a limited company, the certificate of incorporation with the memorandum and articles of association. Incorporation runs through the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC).1 How to check it. Compare the legal name and address character by character across the licence, incorporation papers, quotation and invoice. If it is skipped. Two names can mean two legal persons.
2. Export permission: the ERC, in the right category
Evidence to hold. The Export Registration Certificate (ERC), showing name, category and expiry. It is issued by the Office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports (CCI&E) under the 1981 Registration Order.2 A General ERC covers exporters; an Indenting ERC covers an agent not handling goods.2 How to check it. Ask whether the holder exports itself, and match name and address with the licence and quotation. If it is skipped. A lapsed or wrong-category certificate surfaces only at a bank or customs step.
3. Tax identity: TIN and VAT certificate, matched digit by digit
Evidence to hold. The Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) certificate and VAT registration certificate for the same legal name, both listed among the enclosures for an export declaration.3 How to check it. Copy each number digit by digit, and compare name and address with the licence, ERC and invoice. If it is skipped. The mismatch is found by an official reader, not the buyer.
4. The bank account that will receive payment
Evidence to hold. Bank account name and details in writing on the quotation, in the exact company name from item 1, naming the Authorized Dealer branch. An EXP form certified by Authorized Dealer banks supports realization of export proceeds.3 How to check it. Compare the account name with the legal name everywhere, and treat a late change as conflicting until confirmed through the same channel. Never pay a personal account. If it is skipped. Wrong-account payment is difficult to trace.
5. The place where the gloves will be made
Evidence to hold. A written statement naming, per style, the site that cuts, stitches and finishes the gloves, stages bought in elsewhere, and whether the exporter is maker or trader. How to check it. Ask for the site address and operating name per stage. For a trading company, get the producing site in writing before any deposit. If it is skipped. Sample and bulk may come from different workshops, with no record of responsibility.
6. Tannery audit evidence, read for the site it names
Evidence to hold. The audit document naming the audited site, standard, rating and expiry. The Leather Working Group (LWG) audit assesses a tannery across 17 sections.4 Ratings: Gold 85, Silver 75, Bronze 65, Audited 50 percent, set by the lowest section.4 How to check it. Confirm the site supplied the sample leather and the certificate is in date: 24 months for facilities, 12 months for part-processed traders.4 LWG certification does not promise a product will pass a restricted substances test.4 If it is skipped. An audit is read as a glove certificate. It is not one.
7. Protective-glove evidence, only where protection is sold
Evidence to hold. Where protection is sold, the laboratory report naming the glove, standard, method and result per risk claimed. EN 388:2016+A1:2018 covers abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and impact, with a level per test; X marks a test not performed.5 How to check it. Read the glove marking against the report, position by position. For the European Union, confirm the route with an adviser: Category I self-certified, Category II type examination by a notified body, Category III type examination plus ongoing assessment.6 If it is skipped. The claim stands on description alone.
8. Destination-market wording evidence
Evidence to hold. The composition statement per part and label proofs per market, approved word by word. In the United States, the unqualified word leather requires a product that is leather in all substantial parts, and imitation material must be disclosed.7 How to check it. Compare the statement with the sample, part by part, and ask how bonded or reconstituted material is described, since it needs disclosure of leather-fiber and non-leather content.7 If it is skipped. Wording accepted in one market may count as deceptive in another.
9. A physical sample record, not a photograph
Evidence to hold. A dated record of the sample pair: specification version, size and color, shade and pair notes, and who judged it. Keep the pair sealed as the bulk reference. How to check it. Judge the pair on the hand against the specification, recording every difference, and retest when leather, tannery, lining or pattern changes. A photograph, video call or catalogue page is not a record. If it is skipped. Bulk is judged from a photograph, with no reference pair.
10. A trial order record before bulk
Evidence to hold. A written trial record: quantity and counting basis, making site, inspection result, and bulk terms to follow. The trial should use the same specification, site and leather source as the bulk lot. How to check it. Compare trial and bulk quotation line by line, recording changes as new items, and agree in writing what happens if the trial fails. If it is skipped. Bulk becomes the first production run.
11. References and the profile record
Evidence to hold. Written answers from two prior buyers, shared with the supplier's agreement, on what was ordered and whether site, specification and documents matched. Hold also the profile record as read. How to check it. Ask both the same three questions. Read each badge only for the checks its wording records. A badge is not a factory inspection or a promise about capacity, quality or delivery. If it is skipped. The buyer relies on a listing and a price alone.
Failures that recur, and the repair each one needs
Failure | Repair before a deposit |
|---|---|
Name or address differs across documents | Corrected papers, re-checked against quotation and invoice |
ERC category or expiry does not cover the export | Current certificate, renewal record held |
TIN or VAT number does not match the exporter name | Corrected tax papers, numbers copied digit by digit |
Payment details point to a personal account | Account in the company name, confirmed in writing |
A tannery audit is presented as glove evidence | Audit read for site, rating and expiry, plus a glove record |
A badge is read as an inspection | Badge read only for the checks its wording records |
A photograph stands in for a sample | Sealed sample pair, judged against the specification |
A trial is skipped before bulk | Trial record on the same specification and site |
Do not repair the same item twice. A corrected document that contradicts the first version without explanation means the file should be closed.
Summary table: one exporter, one evidence record
Copy this table per exporter.
Exporter | Evidence held | Evidence missing or conflicting | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
Exporter 1 | Items 1 to 11 | None | Proceed to order terms |
Exporter 2 | Items 1, 2, 3, 5 | Item 4: account name differs; item 6: audit expired | Pause until corrected |
Exporter 3 | Items 1, 3 | Item 2: ERC not supplied; item 9: no sample pair | Do not proceed |
Where two records are complete, compare identical quotation fields and the sample and trial records, not badge counts.
When should this checklist be used?
While quotations are compared, when the sample pair is judged, and before any deposit is paid. Reopen the file when the leather source, tannery, site, specification version or delivery term changes.
Who should complete it?
The file and the decision belong to the buyer. A broker can work on shipment-file items, a laboratory on protective and composition items, and an inspector on sample and trial items, each reporting in writing. The supplier does not complete its own file.
What are the most common failures?
Name and address mismatches, a wrong-category or expired ERC, a bank account not in the company name, a tannery audit mistaken for glove evidence, a badge mistaken for an inspection, photo approval instead of a sample, and a skipped trial. Each is a file failure first.
Can a third party do it?
A third party can carry out parts: an inspector judging sample and trial, a laboratory testing to a named standard, a broker confirming shipment-file documents. Require a written report naming lot, sample, method and result. The decision stays with the buyer.
