The clothing was collected in the richest areas of the cities and therefore the quality is excellent. It contains 9-10 % shoes and is packed in their original packing – mostly plastic bags as they were collected from the people. They are put into so called capsaks as one of them weighs around 130-140 kg each. One 40’HC container can be loaded with 144 capsaks which means that the net weight of full container load (FCL) is between 18720 and 20160 kg. Taking into consideration the location of the collection centers the original used clothing is more suitable for the South American and Asian markets. This does not mean that we cannot supply our European and African clients.We keep close relations with many freight forwarders and we can find very competitive price to some locations. Also we encourage our customers to check Freight prices themselves with their Shipping agents as sometimes they can be surprised how low the price can be.
