A business partner, not a distributor
Many Pakistani towels makers sell through distributors and importers. That can be good business, and we can help you win distributors as buyers. But when a distributor stands between you and the market, your name rarely reaches the end buyer and much of the value stays abroad.
We work differently. We are your US office and sales team, working for you:
| A distributor | Pak Export Partners | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the goods | The distributor buys your goods and owns them | We never own your goods |
| Whose name the buyer sees | Often the distributor's brand, not yours | Your company and your brand |
| Who sets the resale price | The distributor, with its own markup | You set your price. We add no markup |
| How they earn | A margin on every unit they resell | A monthly fee plus commission only on paid orders |
| Who keeps the buyer list | The distributor | You. Every buyer contact is in your monthly report |
Because we do not buy your goods, we have no reason to push your price down. We win when you get paid.
US rules to know before you ship
- Textile products need a label showing fiber content, country of origin and the maker or seller, plus care instructions. This is a US Federal Trade Commission rule.
- US Customs can hold goods made with cotton or yarn from the Xinjiang region of China. Keep records showing where your cotton and yarn came from.
- Buyers compare towels by weight per square meter (GSM) and by size in inches. Show both.
We are not a licensed customs broker or regulatory consultant. For work that needs a license, we coordinate licensed US partners and include them in your plan. See our US labeling guide and customs guide.
