A UK buyer's guide to sourcing activewear from Pakistan
Sourcing sports clothing overseas is mostly planning: get the spec right, time the order to your selling season, and know who handles import. This guide covers what UK brands usually settle before bulk.
Time the order to the season
Allow sampling, bulk production and freight before your launch date. Autumn and winter ranges with fleece need to be ordered well ahead, and summer running ranges need the same lead. Sea freight takes longer than air, and the time depends on the port and freight service.
UK import duty and VAT
Duty depends on the commodity code of the garment and the UK trade scheme that applies to goods from Pakistan, including the Developing Countries Trading Scheme. Check the current rate for your product with a customs broker. Import VAT is charged on entry, and importers generally need a UK EORI number.
Choose FOB or DDP
On FOB you arrange freight and UK import entry from the port of departure, usually through a forwarder and customs broker. On DDP we quote delivery to your address, and how duties and VAT are handled is confirmed with your quote.
Write the fit down
Send a size chart with grading rules, or a reference garment we can measure. Tell us whether you sell UK sizes, and the ease you want, because activewear fit is often snug and stretch dependent.
Test the sample like a customer
Stretch the fabric and check it is not see-through, wash it and measure again, and look at how seams sit when the garment moves. Share what you find before bulk starts.
Label for the UK market
UK textile labelling generally needs fibre content, and care instructions are expected on most garments. Check the exact rules and the wording you need with a compliance adviser, then send us the final text and we make labels to what you approve.
Start with a capsule
Many labels start with a small capsule, such as one legging, one top and one layer in two or three colours, then reorder what sells. See also the clothing manufacturers UK page, the hoodie manufacturer UK page and the worldwide shipping page.
