Good manufacturing decisions begin with a clear brief, realistic expectations and the right production process. This guide explains the practical considerations for your next clothing project.
Why delivery terms matter
A garment price is only part of the landed cost. Incoterms allocate defined delivery responsibilities, risks and costs between buyer and seller. They do not replace a full sales contract or determine ownership transfer by themselves. Specify the named place and agreed version of the rules.
EXW: more collection responsibilities for buyers
Under Ex Works, goods are made available at an agreed place, with significant collection and export-related responsibilities generally falling on the buyer. This can be challenging for importers without logistics support. Confirm practical export clearance arrangements.
FOB: a term for waterway transport
Free on Board is intended for sea or inland waterway shipments. Under the rule, risk passes when the goods are on board the nominated vessel at the named port. Do not assume FOB suits air freight or every container shipment.
DDP: extensive seller responsibilities
Delivered Duty Paid generally requires the seller to arrange delivery and handle specified import formalities and duties at the named destination. It may not be practical in every market. Confirm who is legally permitted to act as importer and account for applicable taxes.
Compare quotes using the same cost basis
Ask for the named place, transport mode, included freight services, insurance, customs handling and duties. Compare manufacturing, packaging, freight, taxes, warehousing and final delivery separately. Check current official customs guidance and consult a freight professional where appropriate.
