Knitwear faces unique risks in international logistics — humidity, abrasion, delays. Here’s how brands and buyers safeguard quality from factory to store.
Common Challenges
- Moisture & temperature swings: Wool/cashmere absorb humidity.
- Friction in long routes: Can cause surface fuzzing.
- Customs delays: Impact delivery windows and cash flow.
Protective Measures
Packaging & Protection
- Vacuum bags or poly with acid-free tissue
- Desiccant sachets and anti-moth measures
- Carton testing for compression and stacking
Transport Mode
- Air freight: Fast but costly — best for launches/restocks.
- Sea freight: Economical for bulk — requires moisture control and longer lead time.
Insurance & Documents
- Purchase cargo insurance.
- Prepare Certificate of Origin, commercial invoice, packing list, and any required test reports.
Our Logistics Edge
- One-stop freight coordination with air/sea options.
- QC extended to logistics: Photo records and inspection before dispatch.
- Flexible delivery: Split shipments to reduce risk.
Conclusion
International transport is more than shipping — it’s brand protection. With the right packaging, documentation, and partners, your knitwear arrives perfect
