Clothing manufacturer for US brands

CraftSell manufactures clothing in Sialkot, Pakistan for US brands and ships door to door by express air or sea. We can quote DDP (delivered duty paid), so US import duties, tariffs and customs clearance are handled before the order reaches you.

Delivered duty paid (DDP) or duties on arrival

With DDP, the price we quote includes production, shipping and US import duties. The courier clears customs and delivers to your door with nothing more to pay. With DAP (delivered at place), you or your courier account pay duties when the goods arrive.

Most of our US clients choose DDP for samples and first orders because the landed cost is known up front.

US import duties on clothing from Pakistan

US duty on apparel depends on the garment type and fibre (its HS code). Standard rates for most clothing fall roughly between 5% and 32%. On top of that, the US added reciprocal tariffs on imports from most countries, including Pakistan, in 2025, and those rates have changed several times.

Since 29 August 2025, low-value parcels (under $800) no longer enter the US duty-free, so samples and small orders can attract duty too. We check the current rates for your products in every DDP quote.

US labelling requirements

Clothing sold in the US generally needs a permanent label showing fibre content, country of origin ("Made in Pakistan"), the manufacturer or brand identity (your company name or RN number) and care instructions. Children's products have extra rules under the CPSIA, including tracking labels and testing.

We print and sew compliant labels with your branding — tell us your RN number if you have one.

Import rules change. This page is a general guide, not legal or customs advice — we confirm the current rules for your products in every quote.

Frequently asked questions

How long does shipping from Pakistan to the US take?

Express air courier usually takes around a week door to door. Sea freight takes several weeks and suits large orders.

Do I pay duty on samples from Pakistan?

Usually yes, since the US ended duty-free entry for low-value parcels in August 2025. With a DDP quote, sample duty is included so nothing is charged on delivery.

Do I need a customs broker?

Not for courier shipments — the courier acts as broker. Larger commercial shipments (generally over $2,500 in value) need a formal customs entry, which usually means a licensed customs broker and a customs bond.
