Goods for Chimoio are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Beira, and your clearing agent moves it on to Chimoio. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.

Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly.

Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks.

Track Pants & Shorts: Track pants and shorts serve sport, home and travel, and are easy for wholesalers to sell because they fit many body sizes.

Shirts: Formal and casual shirts are staple stock for menswear retailers and uniform suppliers, reordered as sizes and colours sell out.

Printed Shirts: Printed shirts are fast fashion for warm-weather and resort markets: designs age quickly and are replaced each season.

Trousers & Cargo Pants: Chinos and cargo pants bridge work and weekend wear, and utility versions are bought by contractors and uniform suppliers.

Ladies Tops & Dresses: Women's tops and dresses are trend products: styles are bought for a season and replaced, so online sellers and boutiques value small, fast runs.

Abayas & Kaftans: Abayas and kaftans are the core of modest fashion, with demand concentrated before Ramadan and Eid and orders placed months ahead.

Caps: Caps are cheap to ship and easy to brand, so they feature in promotional orders, school and event wear, and retail accessory ranges.

Kurtis: Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival.
