Pakistan T-Shirt Manufacturer for USA Brands

Pakistan T-Shirt Manufacturer for USA Brands

Pakistan T-shirt manufacturer specifically for USA brands. DDP shipping to LA/NYC, low MOQ 50, premium quality.

Pakistan-to-USA t-shirt sourcing operates under specific economics: US MFN tariff on cotton tees (HTS 6109.10.0012) is 16.5% — Pakistan does NOT receive GSP relief on apparel for the US market. Despite this, FOB prices from Karachi remain competitive against Mexico, Honduras, and Vietnam after duty: a 180 GSM ringspun tee FOB at $3.40 lands at roughly $4.75 in Los Angeles or Newark including duty, sea freight, MPF, and HMF. Lead times: 22-28 days production + 28-32 days sea (Karachi-LAX via Singapore transshipment). Air freight option through Karachi-JFK adds $4-6/kg but enables 35-day total cycle for restocks. We file ISF (10+2) for our regular US importers and provide commercial invoice + packing list + Form 7501 supporting docs. Most US brands sourcing here run 500-2,000 unit cuts per SKU on quarterly cycles.
