Garment Trade

摘要

Textile and apparel importers have a lot to think about. First is the issue of sourcing, which brings to the forefront quotas as well as tariffs and duties. Then they must weigh and measure the cost of shipment, including transit times, mode of transportation, and port of exit and entry. Add to that, warehousing and distribution. Since success at the retail level is akin to be timely in meeting the fashion trend of the day, shipments must move quickly. No retailer wants to miss the mark and be literally left holding the bag of unsold goods.
