Shipping, Incoterms and payment terms

We handle everything: export, freight, import clearance and duty. The price you approve is the price you pay, and the cartons arrive at your door. It is the simplest option and the one most first-time importers should take.

We deliver to the port and clear it for export. From the moment it is on the vessel it is yours, including freight, insurance, import clearance and duty. Cheaper on paper, and it assumes you have a freight forwarder.

You collect from our factory gate and handle everything from there. Only worth it if you already move goods out of Pakistan regularly and have your own agent in Sialkot.

If you do not have a customs broker, take DDP. The landed cost is usually within a few per cent of FOB once you add clearance and duty, and it removes every point at which a shipment can sit at a port accruing storage while someone works out who is responsible.

Five to seven working days door to door to the United States, the United Kingdom and most of the EU. Seven to ten to Australia and New Zealand. Priced by chargeable weight, so it suits smaller and urgent orders.

Twenty-five to thirty days port to port to the US east coast and northern Europe, plus clearance and inland delivery. Economical above roughly three hundred kilograms, which is a large teamwear order.

On dispatch, not on order. Add fifteen to twenty-five working days of production after sample approval, and add the sampling window before that. A realistic first order from brief to delivery is six to eight weeks by air.

Fifty per cent to start production, balance against the shipping documents before release. Bank transfer. Established customers move to thirty-day terms after a second successful order.

Available for larger programmes. It costs both sides bank fees and adds paperwork, so it is usually only worth it above a certain order value; we will tell you frankly whether yours qualifies.

Charged up front, credited in full against the bulk order for the same style. If you sample and do not proceed, the fee covers the work and the sample is yours to keep.

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the airway bill or bill of lading. On DDP we handle the import entry as well. If your customs authority needs anything specific, tell us before dispatch rather than after.

We apply country-of-origin, fibre composition and care labelling to the destination market's requirements. US and EU rules differ on what must appear and in which languages; tell us the destination and it is handled.
