Bangladesh - Distribution and Sales Channels Bangladesh - Distribution and Sales
The primary channels for distribution and sales of U.S. goods in Bangladesh are through resident agents, representatives and licensed distributors. Many of Bangladesh's imports are purchased through tender or direct purchase by public sector corporations, autonomous bodies, and government-controlled corporations. These agencies often prefer to deal with local firms acting as exclusive agents or licensed distributors of foreign manufacturers and suppliers. In the private sector, too, businesses prefer to deal with agents to ensure after-sales service and a continuous supply of spare parts, as well as to resolve any future technical problems. Non-exclusive arrangements are common for commodities and products such as wheat, chemicals, and metals, where brand names are not as important.
