Importing activewear into the EU from Pakistan: what to plan for
An EU order from Pakistan is a normal order with an import step: you approve a sample, we produce and ship, and the goods clear customs in the country of arrival. The table lists the points European buyers ask about.
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Origin and duty | We are a REX registered exporter under the EU GSP scheme. Whether a duty preference applies depends on the product and origin rules, so confirm it for your commodity code |
| Import VAT | Charged on entry at the rate of the destination country |
| Chemical rules | Textiles sold in the EU must meet REACH restrictions. Raise any test requirements at quote stage |
| Labels | Fibre content and care wording are made to the text you approve, in the language of your market |
| Sizing | Made to your size chart, including EU sizes |
| Shipping | FOB or DDP, by sea or air |
For other categories, see our clothing manufacturer for Germany and Europe page and the private label activewear page.
Fabrics for European activewear: jersey, mesh, fleece and stretch
We work in knitted jersey, mesh, fleece and stretch fabrics. Fabric, weight, stretch and colour are agreed at sampling, and you should state any fibre or chemical requirements for your market at that point.

|---|---|---|
| Knitted jersey | Training tees, tanks and light tops | Confirmed with your quote |
| Mesh | Vented panels and breathable linings | Confirmed with your quote |

Branding and labels for your European activewear line
We apply your brand in the factory through prints, embroidery, labels, hang tags and packaging, so cartons arrive ready for your warehouse. Choose one method or combine several.
Printing
Screen, digital and sublimation prints matched to your artwork and fabric.
Embroidery
Chest, sleeve and leg logos stitched in your thread colours.
Labels and hang tags
Neck labels, care labels and hang tags with your branding and market-language wording.
From brief to European delivery in six steps
An activewear order moves from quote to shipment in six steps. Samples take 7 to 14 business days and bulk takes 20 to 35 business days after approval. The manufacturing process page covers each stage.
Brief and quote
Send your tech pack or reference garment, quantities and colours. We quote within 24 hours.
Pattern and fabric
We agree the fit, EU size chart, fabric, stretch and decoration method with you.
Sample
Your sample is ready in 7 to 14 business days, with no sample minimum.
Approval
You test fit, stretch and branding, and agree changes before bulk starts.
Bulk and inspection
Bulk takes 20 to 35 business days, and finished garments are checked to AQL 2.5.
Ship to Europe
Orders are packed to your instructions and ship FOB or DDP by sea or air.
Quality checks before activewear leaves Sialkot
Every run is inspected against the approved sample using AQL 2.5 sampling before it ships, because a defect found in a European warehouse is costly to fix. The quality inspection page sets out the method.
- Measurements checked against your size chart and approved sample.
- Seams, waistbands and stretch areas checked on sampled units.
- Colour matched to the approved sample, piece to piece.
- Prints, embroidery, labels and tags checked for position and spelling.
- Cartons counted and marked to your packing instructions.

A European buyer's guide to sourcing activewear from Pakistan
European brands sell into several countries with different languages and sizing habits, so the spec work matters more than the factory location. This guide covers what buyers usually settle before bulk.
Duty and origin documents
We are a REX registered exporter under the EU GSP scheme. Whether a preference applies depends on the product and the rules of origin, so confirm the commodity code and the current rate with your customs broker before you price your range.
Import VAT and who is the importer
Import VAT is charged on entry at the rate of the country of arrival. On FOB you act as importer of record or appoint a forwarder. On DDP, how duties and VAT are handled is confirmed with your quote.
Textile labelling
EU textile rules require fibre names and percentages on labels, and brands usually add care instructions and the language of each market. Check the exact wording with a compliance adviser and send us the final text, and we make labels to what you approve.
REACH and product safety
Garments sold in the EU must meet REACH limits on restricted substances. If you need test reports or a restricted substances list followed, raise it at quote stage so it is planned before sampling.
Sizing across markets
Send an EU size chart with grading rules, or a reference garment we can measure. If you sell in several countries, agree whether one chart covers all of them. Activewear fit is often snug, so state the ease you want.
Test the sample like a customer
Stretch the fabric and check it is not see-through, wash it and measure again, and see how seams sit in movement. Share what you find before bulk starts.
Start with a capsule
Many labels start with one legging, one top and one layer in two or three colours, then reorder what sells. See also the clothing manufacturer Europe page, the activewear manufacturer UK page and the worldwide shipping page.
