Why India
Documented quality
SAFTA preferential tariff treatment and Bangladesh's direct land and sea proximity to eastern India give Indian machines a clear cost and speed advantage over competitors shipping from China or Europe.
Competitive pricing
Shipping from Kolkata or Haldia to Chattogram is among the shortest and most direct sea routes from India, supporting fast spares replenishment that Chinese suppliers, despite lower unit prices, typically cannot match.
Responsive support
English is widely used in Bangladeshi commercial and engineering communication, removing translation friction in specifications and support.
Logistics & trade ties
A near-zero time difference (Bangladesh is 30 minutes ahead of India) allows real-time remote diagnostics and same-day support without any scheduling complexity.
Sectors
Bangladesh's demand for cutting and welding capacity concentrates in a handful of manufacturing sectors, most visibly around Gazipur and Narayanganj.

Shipping & terms
Cutting and welding machine demand in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's manufacturing economy, long anchored by ready-made garments, has diversified into light engineering, steel fabrication and machinery manufacturing around Dhaka, Chattogram, Narayanganj and Gazipur. Garment-sector backward linkage industries — accessories, machine parts, and factory infrastructure fabrication — have created a growing base of metalworking businesses that need dependable cutting and welding capacity.
Bangladesh's proximity to India and its membership of SAFTA (the South Asian Free Trade Area) give Indian exporters a natural logistics and tariff advantage over machinery sourced from China, Europe or East Asia, and overland and short-sea shipping options keep freight cost and lead time low relative to most other export markets.
Shipping terms and logistics
Sea freight from Kolkata or Haldia to Chattogram is a short, direct Bay of Bengal route with an indicative transit of 4–8 days, one of the shortest sea routes from India. CIF delivery to Chattogram or Mongla is available alongside standard FOB Kolkata or Delhi terms. Standard export terms are FOB Kolkata or Delhi / CIF.
Warranty, spares and remote support
Machines carry a 12-month warranty on core systems, backed by remote diagnostic support typically within 4 working hours and stocked wear spares — nozzles, lenses, torch consumables, contact tips and drive rollers — for prompt air-freight dispatch to Bangladesh. Customised extended warranty available on request.
Export orders are quoted on FOB Kolkata or Delhi / CIF terms, with 70% advance with confirmed order, 30% before shipment.
Currency and regulatory notes
Quotations are issued in US dollars as our standard export currency; buyers arrange conversion through their bank at the time of payment.
Machinery imports into Bangladesh generally attract standard customs duty with SAFTA preferential treatment available for qualifying goods of Indian origin; we confirm the conformity documentation your order needs at the quotation stage, and buyers should confirm current SAFTA certificate of origin requirements with their customs clearing agent.

RA Machine also supplies and supports machines across South Asia.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions — exporting to Bangladesh
How quickly can we get a quotation and shipment to Bangladesh?
Send your required cutting or welding specification through our enquiry form and we will issue a US-dollar quotation with FOB Kolkata or Delhi and CIF options to Chattogram, typically within one working day given the short time difference and route.
What shipping terms and transit time apply to Bangladesh?
We ship FOB Kolkata or Delhi as standard with CIF available to Chattogram or Mongla. This is one of the shortest sea routes from India, with an indicative transit of 4 to 8 days.
Does SAFTA reduce import duty on our machine?
Machinery qualifying as Indian-origin under SAFTA generally benefits from preferential import duty; we provide the certificate of origin and supporting documentation your clearing agent needs to claim this.
Will the machine run on Bangladeshi industrial power?
Our machines can be configured for 400 V 3-phase 50 Hz supply, the standard across Bangladeshi industrial facilities, so no additional transformer is required.
How is installation and operator training handled?
We begin with remote video commissioning by our engineering team, followed by an on-site engineer visit for final calibration, safety checks and hands-on operator training, scheduled quickly given the short travel distance.
What warranty and spares support do you offer?
Every machine carries a 12-month warranty on the laser or welding power source, drive and control system, with wear spares such as nozzles, lenses and torch consumables dispatched rapidly given the short shipping distance.
What payment terms do you offer Bangladeshi buyers?
Standard terms are 30 percent advance with the purchase order and 70 percent against pre-shipment inspection video and shipping documents, settled by wire transfer in US dollars.
What is the typical lead time before shipment?
Production lead time is typically 6 to 8 weeks from confirmed order and specification, with an exact shipping date confirmed once the vessel is booked.
