Why Swiss businesses choose factory-direct
Switzerland has one of the highest purchasing power levels in Europe and a business culture that prioritises quality and precision. Swiss companies that need branded merchandise — from Zurich financial firms to Geneva luxury hotels to Basel pharma companies — typically pay premium Swiss distributor prices for what is ultimately the same factory production. Factory-direct eliminates that gap.
LDC preferential tariffs — low or zero duty from Bangladesh
Switzerland is not an EU member, but it operates its own Autonomous Preferences for Developing Countries (APG). Bangladesh qualifies as an LDC (Least Developed Country), making most apparel imports to Switzerland eligible for preferential duty rates, typically 0% on cotton garments. Swiss MWST (8.1% standard rate) applies at import and is reclaimable by VAT-registered Swiss businesses. Your quote includes a full CHF landed cost breakdown. Verify current rates with your Swiss freight forwarder.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 — included, not optional
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification is available across our full cotton product range and is noted on every quote. For Swiss companies with sustainability reporting requirements or supply chain compliance programmes, we treat OEKO-TEX as a baseline standard, not an add-on. ACCORD ethics certification covers all our Bangladesh factories.
CHF pricing, no conversion ambiguity
All quotes for Swiss buyers are in CHF. For multinational companies with billing entities across Switzerland and the EU, EUR pricing is also available on request. Swiss MWST (8.1%) is excluded from our quote and noted on every invoice — it applies at import through your Swiss customs process and is recoverable by registered businesses.
3D approval — what you sign off is what gets produced
Every order starts with a photorealistic 3D render built from your factory specification. Fabric weight in GSM, Pantone colour reference, embroidery placement, stitch density. You approve it before we cut a single piece. If anything is wrong, we fix it before the factory starts. The approved render becomes your permanent tech pack — consistent quality on every reorder, with no reliance on an intermediary holding your specification.
What Swiss businesses order
Every product is made in our Bangladesh factory network — the same production infrastructure that supplies Reebok, Hugo Boss, Carhartt, Adidas, Zara, and H&M. Cotton-first. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified options across all categories.

Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Zug all host multinational regional and global HQs — many with offices across the EU and US — creating demand for consistent branded merchandise across multiple countries from a single factory source.

Switzerland's multinational companies — from Zurich finance (UBS, Swiss Re, Zurich Insurance) to Basel pharma (Novartis, Roche) to Geneva international organisations (WHO, WTO, CERN, FIFA, UEFA) — all need consistent branded merchandise across their global offices. One factory source, one Pantone reference, the same 300 GSM cotton hoodie across Zurich, London, and New York. Volume discounts run from 5% at 100 units to 20% at 1,000 units.

How factory-direct works for Swiss businesses
Request a quote
Tell us the product, quantity, and decoration details. We respond with a factory-matched specification, OEKO-TEX status, ACCORD certification confirmation, and CHF pricing within 24 hours. Swiss MWST (8.1%) is excluded from the quote and noted separately — it applies at import via your Swiss customs process and is reclaimable by VAT-registered businesses.
Approve the 3D render
Before production starts, you approve a photorealistic 3D render built from your factory specification. Fabric weight in GSM, Pantone colour reference, embroidery placement, stitch density. If anything is wrong, we fix it before the factory cuts a single piece. The approved render becomes your permanent tech pack.
Production with milestone updates
Photo updates at cutting, sewing, and quality control. Standard production is 4–8 weeks from 3D approval. Rush production is 7–10 days with a 15–25% surcharge noted in the quote. No surprises.
Delivery to Switzerland
Goods ship from Bangladesh to your Swiss address. Switzerland operates its own customs border separate from the EU. Sea freight arrives at the Port of Antwerp or Rotterdam, then continues by rail or road across the Swiss border — total 22–25 days from factory gate. Air freight via Zurich Airport (ZRH) or Geneva Airport (GVA) is 2–3 days. We coordinate freight, Swiss customs documentation, and provide a full CHF landed cost breakdown before you confirm the order.
Questions from Swiss buyers
What are customs duties from Bangladesh to Switzerland?
Switzerland operates its own Autonomous Preferences for Developing Countries (APG), separate from EU trade agreements. Bangladesh qualifies as an LDC (Least Developed Country), making most cotton apparel eligible for preferential Swiss import duty rates, typically 0% on garments. Swiss MWST (8.1% standard rate) applies at import. B2B clients registered for Swiss MWST can reclaim this as input tax. Your quote includes a full CHF landed cost breakdown. Verify current duty rates with your Swiss freight forwarder.
Do you quote in CHF?
Yes. All quotes for Swiss buyers are in CHF. For multinational companies with billing entities across Switzerland and the EU, EUR pricing is also available. Swiss MWST (8.1%) is excluded from our quote and applies at import through your Swiss customs process.
Is OEKO-TEX certification available?
Yes. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is available across our full cotton product range and is noted on every quote. We treat OEKO-TEX as a baseline standard, not an add-on. ACCORD ethics certification covers all our Bangladesh factories. Documentation is available for Swiss CSR and procurement approval processes.
Is Bangladesh production ethical?
Our factories are ACCORD certified and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. The same production lines supply Hugo Boss, Adidas, H&M, Zara, and Levi's — brands that have audited Bangladesh factories for over 20 years. ACCORD documentation and OEKO-TEX certificates are available on request for Swiss procurement and CSR teams.
How do reorders work? Will quality and colour be consistent?
Every order includes a permanent tech pack created at the 3D approval stage — Pantone reference, GSM specification, embroidery placement. When you reorder in 18 months, production runs from the same tech pack. Consistency on reorders is not a problem with factory-direct production because we own the specification, not a distributor.
What are the lead times to Switzerland?
Standard production is 4–8 weeks from 3D approval to delivery in Switzerland. Rush production is 7–10 days with a 15–25% surcharge noted in the quote. Sea freight from Bangladesh arrives at the Port of Antwerp or Rotterdam, then continues by rail or road across the Swiss border — total 22–25 days from factory gate. Air freight via Zurich Airport (ZRH) or Geneva Airport (GVA) is 2–3 days. Both options are quoted with specific delivery date estimates.
