Dear Sir
I am submitting the final project paper on product development by the reference of J.M Fabrics
LTD.
I have really learned a lot and have gained valuable experience and knowledge while collecting
information for the report. I will do my level best to prepare this report to the required standard.
It was certainly a great opportunity for us to work on this real life project to actualize my
theoretical knowledge of this course in the practical arena and some more which is out of this
course.
I hope that this project paper has been to your expectation, if you come across any question or
quarries regarding these cases, it will be my pleasure to clarify your questions.
Thank you

At first my gratefulness goes to Almighty Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, the
Master of the Day of Judgment, the Cherisher and the Sustainer of the world for giving me
the strength and capability to complete my long industrial training. You have made my life
more bountiful. May your name be exalted, honored, and glorified.
I wish to take this excellent opportunity to thank a lot of people who have assisted
and inspired me in the completion of my industrial attachment:
At first I want to give my Special thanks to my Great Father and Mother who gives
me a chance to study in BUFT and their unforgettable love.
Md. Monirul Alam, Merchandising Manager, to whom I am extremely indebted
for his tremendous support and guidance throughout my training period and writing of this
report. Being working with him I have not only earned valuable knowledge but was also
inspired by his innovativeness which has helped enrich my experience to a greater extent. His
ideas and way of working was truly remarkable.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to Kazi Shamsur Rahman
Sr. Asst. Professor, Proctor of BUFT, for his detailed and constructive comments, and for
his fatherly nature support and continuous guidance throughout my long journey in BUFT.
Standing at the threshold of the end of my university life, I realize how BUFT has
molded me into the person I am today. Now I take a walk down the memory lane BUFT has
paved for me, I realize that I will cherish every single moment I have left behind in this
institution. It is amazing how, a place that had seemed so unknown the first day I walked into
it, has today become a home away from home. I shall forever remain indebted to the teachers
who have tried time and again to help me rectify myself into a better person. With all that this
institution has given me, I must admit that without BUFT. I would be incomplete. I express
my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all the teachers, administrators, the Vice
Chancellor, the Registrar and everybody who is a part of BUFT for giving me the best and
happiest days of my life.
I would like to thank my fellow friends and juniors who have shown greater interest
and provided helpful hands whenever I needed.
Last but not least, thanks goes to my precious family for their never-ending supports
and loves in every stages of my life which has motivated me to do such work.

For any technical education, practical experience has almost equal importance in association
with the theoretical knowledge. By means of practical knowledge it is possible for the students to
apply theoretical knowledge. The industrial training course is engineered in such a way that it
enhances understanding power, skill of the performer. It helps the students to be familiar with
technical matters, various stages of the production and modern machinery used in the production.
It also provides clear conception about management system, work study, efficiency, production
planning and control, cost analysis, inventory management, procurement, utilities, their operation
techniques and maintenances of machinery. It is true that the above mentioned matters cannot be
achieved successfully only with theoretical knowledge. This is why it should be accomplished
with practical knowledge in which it is based on. This makes the students familiar with industrial
environment which ultimately courage them, and makes self-confident as well.
I believe that three months long industrial training made me hard worker, innovative and
enthusiastic and very punctual. Now I realize that I shall be able to work in the industry adopting
the environment.
I tried my best to prepare this report in the partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of
Bachelor in Apparel Manufacturing & Technology. Despite my best effort to ensure the
accuracy, some mistakes or errors may still remain in the report. All types of suggestions for the
improvement of my future career from teachers and students would be taken with humble
courtesy.

HISTORY OF RMG SECTOR
The garments industry of Bangladesh represents one of the recent success stories of industrial development in a poor, developing country. Starting from scratch in the late 1970s, the industry is now Bangladesh's most important source of foreign exchange earnings. It currently exports about $5 billion worth of products each year; this is a little over three-fourths of our annual export earnings.
How did this industry take off? The answer to this question has important lessons for designing approaches to promote industrialization and private sector development. In particular, it would inform the debate on the relative efficacy of focusing on improvements in the overall policy environment vs. micro-level interventions, such as subsidized credit or business advisory services.
This note describes what happened in the early years of the industry. The story of the early growth of the garments industry in Bangladesh is a story of the diffusion of good practices, from foreign to local enterprises and then from one local enterprise to many others. It is also a story of how a few, but strategic, improvements in policy and institutions opened up opportunities even within a generally unconductive environment. One entrepreneur seized these opportunities after another, each learning from the success of those who had entered the arena earlier. Direct, subsidized support to individual firms from government had very little r ole in all this. The catalyst for the birth of the industry was the South Korean company, Daewoo, whose collaboration with the Bangladeshi enterprise, Desh Garments, led to the growth of the industry.The first ready-made garment factories in Bangladesh aimed at the export market were opened in the late 1970s by investors from other Asian countries whose exports had been restrained by quotas imposed by importing nations. By the mid-1980s, the ready-made garment industry had become a strong export earner. Garment exports brought receipts of only US$3 million in FY 1981, but by 1984 exports had risen to US$32 million, and the following year revenue soared to
US$116 million. For FY 1985 and FY 1986, ready-made garments were the second biggest foreign exchange earner for Bangladesh after jute.
The surge in Bangladeshi exports eventually caused a reaction among some industrial nations. Canada, the European Economic Community, and the United States expressed concern that inexpensive Bangladeshi garments were flooding their markets. In 1985, after a series of notices as called for by multilateral agreements, the United States--which was the destination of about 25 percent of Bangladesh's garment exports--began imposing quotas on Bangladeshi garments.

Marker:
Marker is a thin paper which contains all the pattern pieces of a garment. It is made just before
cutting and its purpose is to minimize the wastages. The width of a marker is equal to the width
of the fabric and it should not be greater than the width of the fabric i.e. the width of the marker
is kept less than or equal to the width of the Fabric.
The pattern pieces should be placed very carefully in such a way that it will obviously minimize
wastages.
Objects of marker making:
- To reduce cost;
- To improve the quality of the garments;
- To reduce the cutting time;
Marker Efficiency:
The ratio between the total areas of the pattern pieces to the total area of the maker paper is
technically termed as Marker Efficiency. It is expressed in percentage. If it is denoted by the
symbol ή then –
Marker Efficiency (ή) = (Total areas of the pattern pieces/Total area of the Marker paper) * 100
Page
38
The factors which influence the Marker Efficiency–
- Manufacturers of the marker;
- Size of pattern pieces;
- Length of the marker;
- Pattern Engineering;
- Nature of the fabric;
- Method of marker making;
- Marker width;
- Kinds or design of garments.
Constraint of Marker making:
The hinders of marker making are –
Grain Line:
Grain line is a more effective constraint of marker making. Because of grain line sometimes it is
tough to place the pattern pieces on to the marker, even though it is possible the wastage become
higher.
Design of Garments:
Sometimes the designs and repeats of the fabric are regarded as constraints of marker making.
The patterns may miss the designs or may overlap the designs.
Nature of the Fabric:
Nature of the fabric may sometimes be regarded as a constraint of marker making. Nature of the
fabric includes symmetric and asymmetric.
Page
39
Cutting Accuracy:
Accurate cutting may be one of the constraints of marker making.
Production Planning:
Production planning includes rate of production, types of garments, sizes of garments, etc.
Fabric wastages inside and outside of the marker:
INSIDE WASTAGE:
That wastage that is obtained from the inter-spaces of the pattern pieces in the marker paper. It
depends on the efficiency of the marker maker and on the size of the patterns as well.
OUTSIDE WASTAGE:
Besides the inside wastages, some fabric is wasted outside of the marker –
Ends of the ply losses:
Generally each ply of the fabric losses up to 4 cm at both sides (Two sides * 2 cm).
End of fabric losses:
The length of fabric may sometimes not cover the ply, it may finish its end at less than 5 yards
(cut piece). This piece of fabric goes through wastage and is called end of fabric losses.
Selvedge losses:
Generally selvedge losses are 2% to 3%.
Purchase losses:
Sometimes losses may arise from purchase. Wrong consumption calculation may cause huge
wastage.
Page
40
Fabric cutting:
To cut out pattern pieces of garment components as per exact dimension of the patterns from a
fabric lay is called fabric cutting. It is totally different from general cutting in which exact
dimension is not taken into account. The term fabric cutting is only applicable for garments
manufacturing technology.
Requirements for fabric cutting:
The following points must be fulfilled in fabric cutting-
Precision of fabric cutting:
Fabric cutting should be done accurately as per exact dimension of the pattern pieces in the
marker. Accurate cutting depends on methods of
cutting and marker planning. If manual cutting method is used, then cutting accuracy depends on
sharpness of knife, skill ness of operator, and attentiveness of operator. Computer controlled
cutting and die cutting have their self cutting accuracy.
Infused edge:
During fabric cutting, the friction between the fabric and the blade produces temperature in the
blade; the temperature may be up to 3000C. If the fabric contains synthetic fibers, e.g. nylon,
polyester, acrylic or their blends, then fused edge may result in the fabric. As because most of
those fibers melt at around 2500C. Therefore, sticking of cut edge of fabric will increase the
fabric wastage Moreover, the fused edge after cooling will form hard bid, which will be problem
of irritation during use of garments
Page
41
To avoid the problem of fused edge formation, the following steps
may be taken-
- Reduce the height of the lay;
- Reduce the cutting speed;
- Use anti-fusion paper in the lay at regular interval;
- Lubricate the knife during cutting.
Supporting of the lay:
Surface of the cutting table depends on methods of fabric cutting. The table surface should be
capable to support the lay as well as to ensure that all the plies are cut at a time during fabric
cutting.
Consistent cutting:
Whatever the cutting method is used for fabric lay cutting, it should be ensured that the shape of
the cut components from top to bottom lay are of exact size and shape, otherwise the garments
produced will be defective.
Methods of fabric cutting:
Fabric cutting methods are as follows-
Manual Method: Computerized Method
Scissor - Knife cutting Round knife - water jet Band knife - Laser cutting Straight knife - Plasma torch cutting Die cutting Nether, and Drill

Straight knife:
It is the most common and extensively used fabric cutting machine in the garments
manufacturing Industries.
The machine has a base plate;
under base plate there are wheels to facilitate easy movement of the cutting machine during
fabric cutting on the cutting table. There is a big motor on the stand; the stand is connected to the
base plate. On the motor, there is a handle to move the cutting machine. The blade or knife is
situated inside of the stand. The knife has a knife guard. There is a grinding wheel near to the
knife which facilitates knife sharpening during fabric cutting. Two types of power are needed to
cut fabric in this machine. Electric power is used by the motor for the reciprocating movement of
the knife and manual power is needed to move the cutting machine and blade through the fabric
lay. Higher the size of the motor, higher the force of the blade and higher the depth of the fabric
lay could be cut.
The height of the blade may vary from 10 to 30 cm and stroke of blade may be 2.5 to 4.5 cm.
The cutting edge of the blade may be plain (for soft fabric), waved (for plastic), saw edge (for
canvas), and serrated (for hard fabric e.g. Denim).
For cutting different types of fabric, different speeds of blade may be set. There are modified
versions of straight knife also available. The modified version has a cantilever

Assessment:
Color change:
The original and tested dyed samples are placed side by side, oriented in the same direction
along with the color change grey scale and compare the contrast between the treated dyed sample
and the same untreated sample with the appropriate pair of color change grey scale. If there is no
color change, then its ratting will be 5.
Color staining:
Again, compare the contrast between the untreated white fabric and the stained white with the
appropriate pair of grey white samples of the grey scale for staining.
PH Check’s
Purpose:
To fulfill the buyer requirement. To keep the PH of the fabric as per standard.
Method:
ISO-3071
Apparatus:
Beaker, Stirrer, Conical flask,
Procedure:
- Take 3 pieces of 2 gm sample;
- Take 100ml of distilled water (PH-5.5 to 7.5) in three conical flasks;
- Put the 2 gm treated sample in each conical flask;
- Shake them for 1 hr in normal temperature;
- Finally measure the PH by averaging them.
(Standard PH range for colored fabric 6 to 8 and Standard PH range for white fabric 5 to 8)

QC DEPARTMENTQC DEPARTMENT
Quality is unusually slippery and difficult to come to grip with and therefore someone has said,
"Quality is something I know when I see it". To some, quality defined is like 'love' explained.
Once the concept of quality is understood fundamentally it stops being slippery
and become something, which you can hold by the all.
The main function of the Quality Control Department is not to control quality but to provide a service which allows other people to make good clothes. Their main concern must be to do this at the minimum cost, balancing the expense of the department against die savings it makes possible in terms of reduced repairs and rejects. One aspect of this is to define the quality level of the plant and of the workplaces in-it.

QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT & THERE FUNCTIONS ARE-
INSPECTION
Upon receipt of the fabrics, the fabric inspector at the factory shall be responsible for making arrangements to inspect for visual and technical defects present in the fabric rolls. If passed on unnoticed, fabric defects cause-increased problems in successive manufacturing stages. This section explains the steps necessary to conduct an effective piece goods inspection.Steps:
Select at least 10% of the fabric rolls randomly in the case of woven and 20% of the fabric rolls randomly in the case of knits.
Determine the yardage of the fabric to inspect. Verify that there is enough light for clear vision.
Run the roll at a sufficient speed to identity the defects, approximately 25-30 yds/min.
FABRIC WIDTH CHECKING
The fabric lots that are received by the factory for checking should be according to their widths. This is very important since garment consumption varies from width to width. In all cases, fabric width less than the minimum specified should be considered as a defect.The following example illustrates the significance of fabric width checking. (i.e. the importance of separating rolls having varying widths).
A Factory orders 22,000 Yds. of fabric to make 10,000 garments tolerances to compensate for defective and rejected garments), and receives theShipment as,
45" 17,000 Yds44" The estimated fabric consumption for making a garment of that particular Style and size range is:
For 45" fabric width 2.1 Yds
For 44" fabric width 2.2 Yds
If the fabric rolls are separated according to width and made, the factory should be able to cut,
17,000/2.1 = 8,095
5,000/2.2 = 2,272
= 10,367 garments
Whereas, if the fabric rolls are not separated according to widthwise, it is only possible to cut 10,000 garments.

Systems for grading fabric
Defects or Penalty points are based on the length of the defect. Several options for assigning points to defects exist Longer defects are assigned more points because their existence presents more significant problems in terms of fabric usage, The following section describes 4-point system of grading knitted and woven fabrics. Attention should be focused to see that well-trained fabric inspectors are assigned the job. Inspection should be carried out using a fabric inspection machine that moves the fabric lengthwise across the viewing surface from the beginning to the end of the roll. Fabric inspectors shall use the systems described below for grading fabrics (woven and knitted) to ensure proper fabric quality.
POINT SYSTEM OF GRADING FABRICS
This system was published in 1959 by the National Association of Shirt, Pajama, and Sportswear Manufacturers. This system assigns penalty points based on four categories of defects and each category of defect is assigned a penalty point. Faults are recorded according to the size and frequency, regardless of cause and type.
Size of Defect (Inches) Assigned Points
3 inches or less 1
Over 3 inches but not over 6 inches 2
Over 6 inches but not over 9 inches 3
Over 9 inches 4
Normally this system is to be used in the inspection of knitted fabrics although it is also applicable to woven. Fabric inspection is usually based on fabric width of 64-66 inches (for knitted fabrics). Generally, one linear yard of fabric should not be assigned more than 4 points. After noting the points. Points /100 Sq. Yd is calculated using the following formula:
Potato/100 Sq. Yd Total points x 3600
Fabric width in Inches x Total yards inspected
If the Points / 100 Sq. Yd is below 25 points, the fabric is considered as First Quality, otherwise it is considered as Second Quality.
Entire shipment should be 100% inspected if the point level exceeds 25 points per 100 square yard.

CHECK NOTES FOR FACTORY QUALITY INSPECTOR
Spreading :
Verity that the correct type of fabric is being spread and that it agrees with the marker width.
Check whether the fabrics are uniformly spread out without any creases, leaning, edging, folding and uneven tension.
On face-up spreads, check that nap of fabric is in same direction. If shade of fabric varies from one roll to another, separation paper is to be placed between
rolls. A discussion should be held with the production representative to resolve how to handle the shading lots.
Perform length and width verification.
Marking:
See that the markers are not creased, damaged, or have overlapped parts. All parts of marker are clearly marked. Width of marker fits fabric width. Check for the correct grain direction of the patterns. Cutting: Check whether the top and bottom ply are comparable. No notches and drill holes are missing. Extra care to be taken while cutting fabrics made with blended fiber contents (synthetics)
in order to prevent slippage and ragged cutting.
Maintain a record of any defects found while performing these functions. It is Quality Assurance's responsibility to stop production at any stage of cutting where any major defect or problem is found that has not been corrected or approved- Discussion should be held with the Schwab Quality Inspector to resolve any issue before proceeding further.
IN-LINE INSPECTION

To identify quality issues, and defects at each stage of the production process and to take appropriate corrective actions. An effective in-time inspection and subsequent corrective action program great greatly improves the quality of the final product. Remember, Quality cannot be inspected into the garments; it has to be built into the garments.
STANDARD IN-LINE INSPECTION GUIDELINES
Listed in the following paragraph are the Schwab Company's "Standard ln-Line Inspection Guidelines" for sewing/stitching process that all our vendors must use to manufacture the Company's products. See the appendix to this manual to gain a clear understanding of different kinds of stitches.
SEWING / STITCHING
During in-line inspection of sewing. Quality Inspectors shall observe the following at key points throughout the manufacturing sequence according to the given specification:
- Quality of seam including the seam types, seam puckering, seam grinning, seam allowance and seam tolerances.
- Quality of stitching, including stitch type, stitch tension, stitch uniformity, skipped stitches and stitches per inch.Quality Control In Stitching:In order to avoid waste and garments getting rejected at a tater stage, In-One quality Inspection is performed The fast few pieces of production as components / parts or as garments will be inspected by the production department and the quality department for all the discrepancies. All the defects shall be noted and highlighted. After that, the Quality team consisting of Quality checkers. Quality controllers, and the Quality Manager, shall do random checking and 100% checking wherever appropriate. Stitching Quality can be improved by using the following techniques:
Checking, Recording and analyzing observations of defects. Guiding each individual operator. Training programs. Developing Quality consciousness at all levels.
COMPREHENSIVE FINAL INSPECTION
PURPOSE
The purpose of the final inspection is to visually inspect garments at random in order to verify their general conformity and appearance with technical specifications and approved samples received. This should be carried out when the production of the total quantity of an order or partial delivery is completed-A sample tot has to be selected fine the order axed a percentage of the garments should be inspected, this percentage being stipulated by the S.

Payment by L/C D/P & D/A :
Business transactions usually begin with a purchase order placed by a buyer with a seller. It is very easy to understand, the order, represented by a piece of paper written by the buyer, or a fax received from the buyer, is not something very reliable and secure. Although the order should be treated as an agreement binding both parties, the buyer and the seller, it is not a guarantee or an instrument for the seller to use to obtain payment for the merchandise shipped. For this reason, the "L/C" comes into the picture.
The full name of "L/C" is IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT" which means once it is issued by the bank for the buyer and received and accepted by the beneficiary (the seller), it cannot be cancelled or withdrawn by the buyer or the opening bank, unless with the consent of the beneficiary. In short, once the buyer opens the L/C from his bank to cover the goods he has purchased, he will have to pay for the goods when the seller ships the goods exactly as per the terms stipulated in the L/C. Therefore, as far as the seller is concerned, the sooner he has the L/C on hand, the safer he is. L/Cs can be opened in many ways, but in essence, it is a promise the buyer's bank makes to the supplier, to pay him when he does certain things with evidence to pay him when he does certain things with evidence to prove. the L/C opening bank wants the supplier to do are called "terms". Therefore, when the supplier receives an L/C, he must read the terms carefully to make sure he is capable of fulfilling them all exactly as they are written. If some terms are beyond his ability to fulfill, he must point them out to the buyer and explain why he cannot comply with those terms, and request the buyer to amend them by means of an official amendment through the bank. Following are some different ways L/Cs are commonly written:
SIGHT L/C:
It means when the shipper ships the goods covered by the L/C, and resents the documents to the bank for negotiation, the bank (the negotiating bank) will credit the proceeds to the shipper's account immediately after checking and finding the documents in order.
When the documents are sent by the negotiating bank to the L/C opening bank, the L/C opening bank will effect payment to the negotiating bank also immediately. Such L/Cs usually says "AT SIGHT" which means "pay when the bank sees the documents".
USANCE L/C:
Page
87
It means L/C with time allowed for the opening bank to make payment of a foreign bill of exchange. Or, put it in another way, payment from the L/C opening bank to the negotiating bank will only be made after a period of time as stipulated in the L/C. The length can be worked out between the buyer and the supplier; something's 60 days or 120 days. Sometimes when you (or your supplier) receive a usance L/C of, for instance, 90 days sight, you may think you have to wait 90 days after shipping goods to receive. payment, or if you wish to receive payment at once, you will have to pay interest to your bank.
However, this is not always the case. Something's, the L/C may say "at 90 days sight with interest to be borne by the L/C OPENER. If it does say this you virtually can use it like a sight L/C. After you have presented the documents to your bank, your bank should pay you in full at once after checking them and finding them in order. However, the negotiating bank would have to wait 90 days for the L/C opening bank to pay. Therefore, as far as you are concerned, you can receive payment as if it is a sight L/C. If the usance L/C does not say "Interest is to be borne by the L/C opener", then either you will have to wait till the maturity of the 90 days or whatever the time span is as specified in the L/C, to receive payment, or you may request your bank to pay you at once and charge you for the interest. Your bank usually should accept your request.
Revolving L/C :
It means that the beneficiary can draw money from such L/C up to the amount specified by means of documents, and after drawing, the amount drawn will automatically be replenished and is available for another drawing ......... and another drawing, and so on. However, in order to limit the size of loss which might be caused by fraudulent activities by the beneficiary, it is advisable for the opening bank to specify a time interval between each drawing based on the actual need of the beneficiary. Revolving L/Cs are good for the buyer and the supplier to cover purchases made regularly as on L/C can be used many times saving a lot of paper work as well as L/C opening charges and receiving charges at both ends. However, the L/C opening bank usually would not open a revolving L/C for the buyer unless he has much bigger credit line than the size of the L/C he would like the bank to open for him.
Stand – by L/C:
Page
88
This is normally used by the opener, party
a. to assist the beneficiary, party
b. or for party
c. to guarantee party
d. For certain reasons. The following example will illustrate the function more clearly :
D/P TERM :
D/P (Documents against payment) means that after shipment, the shipper should present his documents to his bank to forward to his bank's correspondent bank in the city where his customer is, with instructions for them to notify his customer to pay and take possession of the documents to clear the goods. In other words, without paying for the goods, his customer cannot take possession of the goods. D/P Term will provide the following advantages to the buyer and the supplier:
a. The buyer dose not has to have a credit line with the bank to open an L/C to the supplier to cover his purchases in advance. He only has to have the money ready to pay for the goods when the shipment arrives.
b. The supplier would not have to worry that his customer may take the goods without paying him because without paying the bank to pay him, the bank would not release the documents. However, D/P term cannot save the supplier in the following case : After the supplier ships the goods and sends the documents to the bank for his customer to pay and to take possession of the documents, his customer at this time, still may change his mind to renounce the goods by ignoring the bank's notification, or simply inform the bank that he is no longer interested in the goods. Under the circumstances, the bank will notify the supplier's bank accordingly and ask for his bank's decision the documents. There is nothing the supplier's bank or its correspondent bank can do to force the customer to pay. In this case, he may ask his bank to call bank the documents. Although the supplier has not lost the goods, he owns the goods in an overseas country creating demurrage charges everyday. To resolve the situation, the supplier will have to resell the goods to another customer.
D/A TERM :
Page
89
D/A (Documents against Acceptance) term as a payment method is far more risky than D/P term to the supplier. D/P term usually come with a time before a certain date, and not after a certain date so as to give a time limit for this matter to end. When such L/C is received by (b), (b) will surrender it to his bank with the invoice or receipt prepared as required by the L/C for a loan of $ 10,000.00 or any amount less than $ 10,000.00 against it, or will get a credit line from the bank for his business activities. He should be able to achieve this by means of this stand – by L/C In short, the spirit of a stand – by L/C is to transfer some financial strength from one company to another.
DOCUMENTATION
When we refer to documentation in the process of export, we usually refer to the process of documents which the shipper uses to collect money for the goods shipped. Therefore, this is the finale of the transaction and an important step. Depending on how the payment term is set up between you and your buyer, we should prepare the documents accordingly. However, no matter it is L/C payment or DP/DA or open account, you must prepare your documents to satisfy the following parties :
a. The buyer's bank who has open the L/C to you if it is L/C payment, otherwise you will have delay in receiving the proceeds of the goods you have shipped.
b. The customs, otherwise you will have delay in clearing the goods through customs.
COMMERCIAL INVOICE: This is the document that you use to collect money from your buyer. Therefore, it must contain the correct unit price with the indication of FOB the shipping port, or CIF or CNF at the shipping port, then it is simple and easy. The following example will satisfy the bank and customs:
Style No
1234
Quantity
1, 000dz
Description
Men's
100% Cotton Woven shirt
Unit price FOB BANGLADESH
US$ 80.00
Total FOB Amount
US $80,000.00
Based on the above, the customs will Impose duty on US$ 80,000.00 When you show the above CIF breakdown on the invoice, the customs will impose duty on the FOB value. However, please note you have to be truthful about the sea freight amount and insurance premium. You must get them from the Bill of Lading, where the freight amount prepaid is shown, and the insurance premium from the insurance company. You cannot inflate these figures to save duty. Otherwise, you may create delays or even bigger trouble for your buyer. The second import things in the preparation of your invoice is that you must provide a full description of the merchandise so that the customs officer can determine what duty rate he should use. The following is a chart
Page
90
you can use as a guide to form a full description of the garment : To form a full description of the merchandise to be used on the invoice, you should go from (1) to (7) below and select one answer from the column on the right : (1) For what sex is this garment ?
(a) Men's (b) Boys' (c) Ladies' (d) Girls' (2) What is the fiber content ?
(a) 100% cotton (b) 60% cotton, 40% polyester (c) 100% polyester (55% ramie, 45% cotton. Or whatever it is if not listed here. (3) How is the fabric made ? (a) Woven (b) Knitted
5. If it is a shirt/ blouse ) how is the font constructed (a) Full open front (b) Half open front. 6. If it is a shirt/ blouse with full open front, which side is on top. (a) Left over right (b) Right over left.
7. What about the sleeves ? (a) Long sleeves (b) Short sleeves (c) Sleeveless. When you go from (1) to (7) and pick your answers from the column on the right side, you will have a description of the merchandise enough for the customs to judge if the quota provided by the visa is correct or not and what duty rate it falls under without having to open up cartons to see the merchandise to determine. Please note, if the item is a knitted shirt or a sweater, in addition to the description formed in the above manner you still have to make a statement in the invoice about how many stitches to a centimeter horizontally and vertically as elaborated in chapter 7 under "HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE SWEATERS FROM KNIT SHIRTS FOR U.S. QUOTA APPLICATION" If the description you have formed from the chart above is different from the one on the L/C you should use the description on the L/C followed by the new description you have formed in parentheses See example below :
See example below :
Style No

Page

This way you will satisfy the bank in terms of the L/C, and the customs as far as the identification of the merchandise is concerned. The above description will help the customs identify the item for proper quota and duty. However, in order for the customs to determine the quota and duty, they also need the following information to be included in your commercial invoice : breakdown of materials by weight with related information for customs :
Nature of fabric :100% cotton woven piece
Tariff no. (tsus no) : 6205.20.20.65.
Quota category : 340
Duty
Please refer to chapter 20 for more information like the above. Anyway, your buyer or his agent should provide you with this information. : 20.9 %
(2) PACKING LIST : There is no hard and fast rule as to how exactly it should be prepared. You can use your own format. As long as you can show the following, it will be acceptable :
(a) The content of each of the cartons shipped, including the color and size assortment.
(b) The measurements and gross weight of each carton. Please note, some garments are subject to duty by percentage of the FOB value only, but some garments are subject to duty by percentage of the FOB value and weight (How much per kilo). Therefore, on your packing list you must indicate the gross weight, net weight and net weight clearly (See full detail on "weight list" later.
WEIGHT LIST : Sometimes the buyer may ask for this on the L/C. If he dose, then you should prepare it and submit it to the bank as one of the documents required for L/C negotiation. If your buyer doses not ask for it, then you should You can handle the weight information as follows:
(a) If the L/C says such weight information is needed on the invoice, you follow the L/C and put such information on the invoice, and repeat it on the packing list.
(b) If the L/C does not specify the need of weight information on the invoice, you may omit it on the invoice, but put it on the packing list. If the L/C requires a weight list, then you put the weight information on the weight list and repeat it on the packing list, but you may omit it on the invoice. Weight information should truly be put on the packing list where it belongs. That is says it should be on the invoice, you follow the L/C too. If the L/C requires a weight list, you follow it also. The weight information in question should consist of:
Gross weight:
Gross weight means the weight of the goods including all packing materials. You should provide weight per carton and the total weight of the shipment which should be the same as, or similar to that on the Bill of lading.
Page
92
Net weight:
Net weight means gross weight less only the export carton and inner boxes if used. Net weight will include the packing materials used for the individual piece of merchandise, for example, the individual poly bag, cardboard and paper hangtag etc. Net weight:
Net weight means the weight of the merchandise excluding all packing materials. In order words, it is the weight of the garment without hangtag, price ticket or even a piece of pin.
You should provide this information for each dz, each carton and for the whole shipment. Based on this information provided, weight duty, if any, will be paid. If the L/C requires you to provide Gross weight and Net weight, you should know, it is Gross weight and Net weight needed, and you provide Gross weight and Net weight, but call it Net weight on the document.
Net weight is needed for duty purpose; Net weight is of no practical purpose – it is for reference only.
BILL OF LADING :
If the shipment is to be mead by boat, B/L (Bill of lading) is usually used. In preparation of the B/L the most important thing is the use of the correct consignee and notifies party.
should use the exact wording as stated on the L/C opened by your buyer so that you will not have any discrepancy against the L/C. In regard to the other aspect of the B/L, you can just follow the format as provided by the shipping line However, sometimes the buyers' L/C may require you to do the following for their convenience:
a) They want you to send one original B/L to their customs broker directly by courier service, and submit the balance 2 original B/C.
b) They also want you to consign the shipment to them (use their company name as the consignee) instead of the shipment to their bank.
AIR WAYBILL :
Air waybill is used for air shipment; with similar function of B/L on boat shipment. However, there is some important difference between Air waybill and Bill of Lading. Please note the following to guard you accordingly. On boat shipments, the buyer needs at least one original B/L to take possession of the goods. However, on air – shipments, the buyer does not need the original Air waybill, or even a copy of the Air waybill to take possession of the goods. If the shipment is consigned to the buyer, the buyer can legally claim the goods from the airline. In fact, the airline will notify the buyer to claim the goods. As long as the buyer can identify himself as the consignee, he is allowed to take the goods from the airline. Therefore, when we make shipments by air, unless we have received payment up front, we should not consign the goods to the buyer. We should always consign the goods to the bank making the bank the legal owner of the goods. The bank will only pass the title to your buyer when your buyer pays the bank
Page

for the goods. When the bank passes the title to your buyer, it is responsible to pay you. If by mistake, you have consigned the goods to your buyer, it is at his mercy to pay you.

PROBLEMS DURING PROJECT WORKPROBLEMS DURING PROJECT WORK
In behind of every gain there should have some restriction and that’s why we are assign to project work to overcome that problem, to do so have learn a great points are as follows from which we have learn.
1. Managements always wants to hide some information mostly on merchandising activities like price and costing on which we are very much in need. It may be to maintain their competitive advantage with local factory.
2. Compliance people were not interested to cooperation. Their perception is that we may forward their lacking to BGMEA as we are from BUFT.
3. Differentiation of technical terminology in between production personnel and me.
4. Sometimes they are confused about our course in BUFT is it training or Hons. Course so personnel try to underestimate.
5. It was too difficult that to get right person in different department from whom I could take information and guide line.
6. On top of everything I must say it was hard tusk to find documents which we should include in internship project file as we were we are assign to include.
